Juggling Honey
...a "quick " grocery trip... |
"Everybody loves Little Female Explorer Cookies, right?"
"They sure do!"
"And people love flavored milk, right?"
"I like where this is going!"
"Let's make Mint Cookie flavored milk!"
"That's an awesome idea!"
And then room erupts into spastic high-fives and weird group hugs. This is how I amuse myself at that big chain store that I won't name for trademark reasons.

Little Sparks
About a
year ago, my wife found a journal that she just had to get me (it’s a Star Wars Moleskin). I decided to use it to keep track of the little moments I like to call “Everyday
Jesus”. Why “Everyday Jesus”? Well, I’m glad you asked! It’s because I firmly
believe that a little bit of spiritual truth can be found in everything we see.
The problem is we often do not take the time to notice. In no way am I saying
that Jesus is ordinary or uninteresting. In fact, it’s just the opposite. He is
extra-ordinary! He chooses to insert Himself into our lives just so He can draw
us into a closer relationship. I believe that this is one of the keys to the Christian
life. Yes, read your Bible. Yes, pray, tithe, and help the poor. By all means,
share the Good News! Do all these things but also build an actual relationship
with Jesus. Listen for when Jesus whispers to you during your waking hours. Look
for Him in all that you see and wherever you go. Let your mind wander to Him
instead of to the latest news headline or work problem. Time spent dwelling on Jesus
and his spiritual truths is worth so much more than the paltry things we
normally fill our extra time with. Here’s one of the first one’s I wrote back in
April of 2014.
