Some wisdom from jam band New Potato Caboose.

“It ain’t a problem til it’s a problem / It ain’t a thing til it’s a thing / Don’t worry about tomorrow / It’ll be what it’ll be / It ain’t a thing til it’s a thing.”

The band members met at Catholic University in the early 80’s, so clearly they had been reading their bibles when the penned this one. How often do you make a thing a thing before it becomes an actual thing? And most of the time, it was never even going to become a thing in the first place!!!!

Here’s how Jesus weighs in on the subject. “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” (Matthew 6:34)

“Grant, O Lord, that the course of this world may be peaceably governed by your providence; and that we may joyfully serve you in confidence and serenity; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Proper 3 – BCP)
