The last few summers here in Texas have been downright hot! I’m talking surface of the sun hot. As you may guess, the lawns across my neighborhood are starting to die a slow death. However, if you are diligent in watering your lawn, you can sustain it through the harsh Texas summers. We are a lot like that grass. When our circumstances are mild, we can grow and be relatively healthy mentally and spiritually. But, when life turns up the heat, it’s a struggle to keep our joy and peace from dying. Worry begins to overwhelm us, and anxiety goes through the roof. We begin to wither spiritually, and physical symptoms begin to show.
