Do you know the TV show, “The Price is Right?” I did some research. This game show first aired from 1956 to 1965, and was then brought back again in 1972. It is still running today, over 50 years later. The Price is Right is one of the longest running shows on television. That may be a surprising way to start a devotion. However, please consider how the contest works. Contestants have to figure out the retail price of an item and compete against other contestants to see whose guess is the closest.

I recently had a couple of experiences where unexpected bad new, was followed by surprising good news. I might describe these as two situations where death became life, a kind of “resurrection.” First, on Thursday, March 27, while fishing on Orange Lake, my trolling motor acted up. I tried a minor fix with no luck. Then, when I got out of the water, the motor itself was not straight like it should be, but extending outward at an angle.

Tuesday evening, March 25, as my wife Kathy and I were eating supper, we discussed my day at work. Among other things, I visited 9 people in their home or at the hospital. Pastor Chris Kollman and I visited 5 people at one time at Oak Hammock. Then I visited Larry and Gayle Davis in their home, and Guillermo and Barbara Luna-Victoria in the hospital. For various reasons of health or age, these folks have challenges in getting out.

When I taught Bible Classes at St. John Lutheran Church in Palmer, Alaska, I sometimes referenced two books. One of those books is entitled “Hard Sayings of the Bible,” the other “Hard Sayings of Jesus.” You see, even though I am a seminary trained pastor, there are times that I do not understand what I read. There are times I do not understand what God is doing. I share these dilemmas which God’s children face because of some questions raised by my daily devotions on Tuesday, March 18.
