Don't you just hate it when things don't go the way you planned? You take the time to meticulously map out all of the details for something, and you build up in your mind how you think it's going to go. Then, it never seems to fail, things start to go sideways. Maybe your outdoor wedding gets rained out, or your Thanksgiving dinner gets burned in the oven. Whatever it is...we've all been there.

The human mind is an amazing thing. Barring physical or mental handicaps, we can learn to do just about anything. However, the key word there is "learn." We aren't just born with the knowledge and ability to do most things. Even basic functions such as walking, speaking, writing, even using the bathroom, had to be taught to us as children.

I really enjoy working with my hands. Typically, when something breaks or needs repaired around the house, I will take a stab at it. My poor wife, God bless her, has learned that we WILL NOT be calling a professional until I have reached my whit's end and finally admitted defeat...which doesn't happen often.

If you have spent any significant amount of time in church, particularly within a variety of Christian denominations, then you surely know that there are many, many points of doctrine where Christians disagree. Heck, this isn't even the first time that Cody has devoted a portion of his sermon to discussing different doctrinal viewpoints or disagreements over Biblical interpretation. True indeed, there is much that Christians do (and must in order to actually be Christian) agree upon. However, there are an equal, if not larger, number of items upon which views differ. It is a common criticism of Christians and Christianity. "Don't you guys agree on anything?!?!"
