Dodging Bullets in Snipers Alley (2025)

"Welcome to Snipers Alley".

"What's that?"

"At our stage of life, you don't know what's going to hit you next. You're in Snipers Alley now."

"Great. Thanks a lot."

Dodging bullets may feel to be beyond me, but according to the Bible, I do not have to be subject to 'the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune' as Shakespeare' s Hamlet put it. There's a surprising amount of advice there on how I can avoid getting shot, especially on how to avoid shooting myself in the foot. Our closing years can be positive ones; as a man, I can learn to flourish like a palm tree; women can be fruitful vines, and children can be like olive shoots round the table (Psalm 128:3). Pleasing.

So here is your spiritual medication. Think of the fourteen short chapters as a blister pack of tablets. One to be taken each day. Complete the course.
