if byler isn't endgame, why did they let it drag on for so long?

why have they been building it up season after season? why haven't they had mike reject will already?? why didn't they resolve it in the same season where it's a major plot point??? why are they giving us the possibility that it could happen if it's not????

why even give Will a crush on Mike?????

Facing it, always facing it, that’s the way to get through. Face it.

Through

Think of the worst thing you’re dealing with right now. Whatever is just beating you up.

If you’re like me, you’ve got two basic approaches for dealing with that stuff. Ignore it. Try to act like it’s not there. Or stare at it. And think about it. Way too much.

Neither approach works.

Ignoring it just gives it time to get worse. Until you literally can’t ignore it.

Staring at it just makes it worse. Right. Now.

There is another option. It’s in today’s Gospel. Where Jesus says, “take up your cross, and follow me.”

Which can sound to our ears like the Church’s version of “suck it up, buttercup.”

But that’s not what Jesus is saying. Not at all.

Jesus is giving us a third way. Between doing nothing, so it can get worse on its own. Or obsessing, actively helping it to get worse.

What Jesus is saying to you and me is this,

    “Don’t ignore it. Don’t stare at it. Deal with it.

    But keep your eyes on Me.

    Follow My lead. We’ll do it together. One step at a time.

    Don’t worry about the what-ifs. I’ve got you.”

It’s the road – to calm in the middle of the storm.

It’s the recipe – for dealing with problems without getting beat up by them.

It’s the reason – why “the best way out is through.”
