Ah ight then, y'all don't worry 'bout tomorrow, on account a tomorrow's gonna have enough to worry 'bout when ye git to it. Today's got enough trouble without ye worryin' 'bout tomorrow too. (Matthew 6:34, The Hillbilly Bible)
I'm a people watcher, y'all. I observe. I think all writers do that. Y'all know what I have observed to be the most consistent sin that folks do? Worry.
Some folks is so addicted to worryin', that if they don't have nuthin' to worry 'bout they make some stuff up! That goes back to our need to be in control. Boy, are we human beans a bunch a control freaks. We somehow think that worryin' is gonna change things. And it does change some stuff.
It changes how much hair ye got on our head. It changes your blood pressure. It changes our relationships fer the worse. It changes your purdy young face to a snarly, wrinkled ole sour puss.
That's the kinda stuff ye change with worryin'...not yer circumstances, dear heart. As I live on, I reckon more and more that the stuff we call trials really would'n be trials at all if we'd just up and trust God. Is that a revelation or did I just eat them turnip greens too late last night, y'all?
So don't worry none, dear heart. King Jesus has it all under control. Cain't nuthin' git to you that don't gotta go thew Him.
