Backed up!

You may not wish to read this during a meal, but I need to share it as a not soon forgotten message.
A friend of mine recently told me of a difficult situation he had encountered. As he went in to his basement, he was shocked to find it filled with raw sewage! Mnay hours later, it was revealed that the problem was due to the septic system not being serviced and the old waste removed. Normally, a septic system needs to be cleaned out every two years. The owners of this home had not done so in seven. The problem was neglect.
In the book of Romans in chapter 12 we are reminded to not be conformed to the world (do what they do, speak like they speak, act like they act...or what we acted like before we came to Christ if that is your case) but to be renewed or transformed by the renewing of your mind through Christ Jesus.
In our lives, we have "stuff" that we are exposed to every day. It is just life. Every day, we have to contend with some of our old habits, or ways of thinking. Life again. But as we open up our spirits and allow Christ through the washing of the word and prayer, clean out the old stuff, things will once again flow properly in our lives. What "stuff" are you in need of having cleaned out of your life today?

Resident Evil

Normally, I do not watch movies, especially of the zombie type..... but in a moment of "i'm off work and kickin' back" insanity, I put in the last R.E. flick. What I found was astonishing to say the least! See, this girl...named Alice is the key to undoing a world wide epidemic which came from a tragic virus released on mankind. It affected everyone, and to spite all of man's efforts, it spread out of control and destroyed the population. It seems that Alice DNA and blood was the key to the cure. It was going to take the blood of one person to reverse the virus that had so devastated humankind. Hmmmmmm. seems like I have heard this story line before. Jory

Poser

I was driving down the road today, and saw a young man in a convertible which had a high dollar car insignia on it. Thinking it was a design I had not seen before, I looked more closely, and found that it was just a Chrysler. Someone had placed the high end logo on the low end car.

What I find in my life is that it is not what is on the outside that people see at a glance, but rather what is on the inside that matters. I can wear a jogging suit with the Olympic team logo on it and top quality running shoes, but that does not make me an athlete! One look at me will give it away! Stop showing your fake logo, and become who you say you are or who it is you want to be!
