The last I saw the lizard, he jumped out the door and disappeared even
though my wife followed him as far as she could go. Then she came back 
into the room. 

She looked at me with one of "those looks" and said very sarcastically,
"What are you laughing at?" 

I promise you, I did my best not to laugh, but if you would've been in
the room with me, you would've laughed too. Nothing is more exciting to 
me than seeing my wife jump in alarm at a little lizard more afraid of 
her than she was of him. 

For the next few days, whenever my wife looked at me and saw me smiling,
she would comment, “You're not thinking of that lizard, are you?” 

For once in my life, I was honest. “No, my dear. I was thinking of you.”


During the rest of our stay there, whenever we came into our room, my
wife searched it from top to bottom to make sure my little friend was 
not there. You will never know how much I wished that he would have 
returned. But you didn't hear that from me. 

Thinking of that little lizard, I remembered what David said. "Though an
host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war 
should rise against me, in this will I be confident” (Psalm 27:3). 

The only thing we need to fear is God and that is a reverential fear.
The fear of God dissolves every other fear.
