http://www.northwestvoice.com/home/Blog/rustman/25561 It's always amazing to me as I look through a lot of the blogs and comments.&nbsp; So many of them are about their faith in God through Jesus Christ.&nbsp; I don't want to sound preachy, or maybe I do.&nbsp; It's just that my faith is such a big part of my life that my thoughts always go back to it.&nbsp; Sometimes my thoughts don't 'go back' to my faith in Christ, they 'stay' on it. Once upon a time I was in the news business.&nbsp; I don't see how anybody can watch the news these days and not get completely depressed without faith.&nbsp; Wars and rumors of wars, gang violence, an economy teetering on the brink, food and gas prices skyrocketing, sharks eating people.&nbsp; I'm just really glad that I know that my God is in charge, and since I study the Bible, I know how it all ends anyway.&nbsp; For all of you out there who are wrestling with the trials and tribulations of life, I invite you to give Jesus a chance.&nbsp; Think about it, or pray about it.&nbsp; Remember, God is always listening.
