<\/a>Playing dice games can be fun. I learned recently how to play bunco and I find I appreciate the simplicity and the luck of the draw or toss as the case may be. I find it fun to watch how many different ways people toss the dice. Some roll with both hands, aggressively tossing the dice, some play them closer to the table and give them a gentle toss. Just like every dice roller is different, so is every person’s faith experience. Sometimes you might roll a perfect score, and you’ll be feeling on top of the world. Antoher roll might make you feel like the most unlucky person in the world. It’s helpful to think and believe that God is the master dice tosser and can make things right out of what we would consider a dicey circumstance.<\/p>\nBuy a few dice or find ones around your house. Toss them and see if you can make a perfect score or be aware that God can turn those dice around for a perfect number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
