Contrasting Adam and Jesus -- Full message

 

Some of the failures in my life—let’s not try to figure out a precise count—have really been embarrassing. In fact, it’s uncomfortable, even painful, for me to think back and remember some of them. I don’t like to recall spectacular ineptitude…especially when it applies to me.

But in spite of the embarrassment I understand that it’s important to keep trying. Keep attempting to pursue new, challenging, out-of-the-comfort zone objectives.

This is not eloquent, but in my mind I think of it this way: Keep doing stuff.

I think God created life in such a way that it tends to be richer and more fulfilling when we are willing to keep trying new things.

Having a little prayer with a praying mantis

This morning when I was unlocking the doors at the church, the fellow in this photo caught my attention. There he was on the front doors holding his own little prayer meeting.

Do you know what type of bug this is?

Yes, he’s a Praying Mantis. And he seemed to be giving me a special message.

What was the message?

Answer: It’s always a good idea to floss.

But then we had a moment. It was a brief moment, yes, a fleeting moment. But it was a moment nevertheless. The Praying Mantis seemed to say a little prayer for me.

After a minute, or so, he took up an offering and I thought, “Okay, I get it. Fair is fair.”

 

Where are you putting your faith and trust?

 

Lucy took me for a walk

Lucy took me for a walk this afternoon. It's a beautiful day and we had a great time. But considering my good behavior I'm a bit disappointed I didn't get a bone when we got home.

I need wisdom.

 

A very important testimony
