Today is “Left-Handers Day”. Since I am part of the 10 percent of Americans who are left-handed, I can sympathize with others who share in the struggles of being a lefty. Only those who have fumbled with can openers, scissors and other gadgets made for right-handed people can fully appreciate how difficult life can be for this beleaguered minority.

I keep hoping that Ned Flanders will open up a “Leftorium” here in our town. I have thought about walking across the United States to raise awareness for the plight of left-handed people.

I suppose I’ll just accept the fact that life will always be difficult, not only for lefties, but for people of all handedness.

Jesus says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33).

The Bible never sugarcoats anything. Jesus plainly says that we will have trouble. But peace and, ultimately, victory, are available to those who trust Jesus.
