Dear Readers,

So you might be wondering, "why scar wars?"  Well, I'll tell you.  It was a clever play on words and I went with it.  Now I find my self tasked with the burden of writing an insightful "letter-from-the-editor" to introduce this edition... Here it goes.

You see...  Destiny is short for Destination (Thanks for that nugget of wisdom, Jeff)   Your destination may not always be clear but you press on... and, Scars are in your past.  And scars, well, they heal.  They don't typically fester or hurt or push forth puss for the rest of your life.  Usually, what you're left with is a mark and a memory of the pain it represents.

In conclusion friends, if I could leave you with one little iota of encouragement this month, it would be this:

Be Present Today.  Face your Pain.  Don't worry about tomorrow.  Be willing to dream.  Seek first His Kingdom and Love God. 

Speaking of God, He says it so much more eloquently:

Matthew 6:25-34 

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

 28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Peace only in Christ,

Ryan
