Our family loves old movies! Rebecca and I like to use famous movie quotes in our regular conversation. One of my favorites is An Affair to Remember with Cary Grant and Debra Kerr. The first of the movie is set on a cruise ship. There is a scene in the movie where a young boy is playing on a rail that leads from an upper deck of the ship and gets stuck. Nick Feranti (Cary Grant) helps to free the boy, then Terri McKay (Debra Kerr) tries to console him by telling a story of how she broke her leg when she was young. The boy responds, “How is it now?” Mrs. McKay says, “Well, all right I guess.” The young fellow responds, “Well, what are you crabbing about?”
While reading back through the Old Testament lately, I have gotten to the book of Numbers during the “wilderness” years of the nation of Israel . These people had been “crabbing” just about every step of the way!
We all go through trials – “stuff” we have to deal with - and these frustrating and tiring situations can get overwhelming! There is nothing unusual about this, but some people have made a way of life out of “crabbing” about everything that goes wrong! We can cross the line from “venting a problem” to a friend to an area of just plain ole complaining! I like the saying Joyce Meyer uses, “Do you run to the phone or do you run to the Throne!” That really got my attention when I heard it because I had always run to the phone whenever I had a problem. I guess I thought it would make me “feel” better, but it never did. There is one thing that is sure to happen when you pray, though. Peace will come when you run to the Throne of God . “Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” I Peter 5:7
Sometimes life throws you small struggles – sometimes the trial is so tough you don't feel like you can take your next breath. You can always look around and find someone who is worse off than you are, so “What are you crabbing about!”
We've got to learn to quit getting upset. We've got to learn to keep our peace and rise above the situation.

I just read the article and I think you make a very good point. Somebody is usually crabbing about something all the time. Generally it's something that they will never do anything about. They will wait on someone else to do something, and complain a little more. Good luck on your new single, "He Can Move the Water." Here's hoping it goe's all the way to number one. Good luck and God Bless.
Sally,
Sally, you just brought something to my mind. Several years ago, some friends of mine that I use to sing with, were at a low finance time, and need some money to buy a pair of shoes for their daughter. They were down by the bay enjoying the beauty, when Sister Wanda looked down in the water and saw a CRABB sliding thru the water with a 20 dollar bill in its claws. She hollered at her husband Brother Buford to get in the water and get that CRABB, so he jumped in and had a tug of war with a CRABB and got that 20 dollar bill. So instead of CRABBING start grabbing that faith and everything will work out. As my song says, "don't worry bout your problems let the Lord show you the way, put your hands up in the air and shake it off". Brother Shake-It-Off
Sally, I just read your article. What a wealth of truth you have written. I pray for God to contine to bless your family as you present a ministry in song. Congratulations on your single
Sally!
Amen Sally!
