A few weeks ago I was up at SFU, perusing the bookstore when I found a cool 2011 agenda book (ya they're selling those already!) and the cover was based on this British propaganda poster that was designed during WWII. According to my best friend (aka Wikipedia) the poster was designed in 1939 (the beginning of WWII) as a "last case scenario" should the Nazis succeed in invading Britain. However, none of the printed posters were distributed and the design was not rediscovered until 2000 in a British bookstore. I think this is a good reminder for a lot of us today as we face random(?) disasters (manmade and natural), problems (self- and others-generated) and hardship. As the Bible says, none of us get to add a day to our lives by worrying.
And to fit with this general idea of not worrying and having things solve themselves, I've changed my welcome picture-banner thing up there to a historical photo of the Yalta Conference starring Churchill, FDR and Stalin that was intended to rebuild the Europe post-war. Of course this whole thing lend to other issues but that's something else...
