When I was a boy, one of my heroes was the Lone Ranger. To the lawless frontier he brought a measure of law and order so that good, law-abiding citizens could be safe and build an orderly society. One of the trademarks of the Lone Ranger was his silver bullets. They represented justice and the rule of law. Because of his mask he was sometimes thought to be an outlaw, but when he showed any doubters his silver bullets, they knew he was on the side of law and order.
In our culture "silver bullet" has come to mean an easy, quick, sure and just solution to a problem. As the Lone Ranger almost always brought a just solution to a problem on the frontier in 30 minutes, so solutions to people problems should be found in 6 sessions with a counselor, or less. That isn't reality! There are many factors involved in why people behave the way they do. Human beings are unique and complex, that's why there are no quick, easy cures out there when dealing with human behavior.
I do not want to spend a lot of time doing this blog, so I have determined to keep it short. My "Silver Bullets" are intended to be short, true, just and loving. Some days the post may only be a couple of lines. Hopefully, my "Bullets" will bless your life as you live in relationship with God, your family and other people.
Blessings; Tom
