I was inspired to shoot these five smooth stones by the Biblical story of David and Goliath. If you recall, the young shepherd boy David slew the great giant Goliath with a single rock thrown from a slingshot. But before approaching the giant, David stopped and carefully selected 5 stones as ammunition. Now that got me to thinking. Was David lacking faith and trust in the Lord? Or was he just being prepared for any possible situation? I prefer to believe the latter.
So as I move through my daily life, I’ll trust that I have the good Lord looking after me and have faith in the tools and knowledge I carry with me. But I’m also going to have a bag filled with virtual rocks. Because you never know when life will decide to go sideways.
