We were all together with the family at my brother in law and sister in law’s house.
It was dark and creepy in the country.
We offered $5 to the first kid who would run to the mailbox, touch it and return.
It took about twenty minutes before any of them accomplished it.
They were literally falling at our feet and clinging to our legs on the porch.
They were terrified of what might get them out there – the boogeyman.
Don’t laugh. We all have the fear of the boogeyman in our hearts.
Not some fictitious character, per se. But rather the fear of something that doesn’t exist. Irrational fear.
When Jesus was walking to the boat in the middle of the night on the water, the disciples said He was a ghost. The only problem is that there are no such thing as ghosts.
Most of our fear involves problems, troubles and hurdles that do not exist.
So, go ahead and do that thing that you’re afraid to do.
You’re going to be ok.
There is no boogeyman.
