the worry bushes

This is a devotion that Franklyn wrote last night.  I was in the kitchen making dinner and Scott was watching a movie when Franklyn came running into the kitchen saying that he wanted to write a devotion called "The Worry Bushes."  I told him to sit at his desk and write away!  He grabbed his notebook and a pen and started writing.
