The Allstate Insurance Company has billed itself as "the good hands" people for many years.  Their most recent advertising effort has included a troublesome little guy called Mayhem.  All this strikes a chord with most of us because we really desire to be in God's "good hands" and we have faced mayhem more times than we want to remember.  Like the potter image in Jeremiah we need a pair of strong, yet creative, hands to work on us.
