Ever feel like your Christian walk is getting an F? Or maybe the line graph of your walk looks like a picket fence? Some good peaks, but a bunch of lows that you don't feel real good about?
What if there was no rating system for you walk? What if it was simply like a light switch, either On, or Off? It would make it a lot simpler for me to live day to day not worrying if I was making the grade, and knowing you're either In or Out. Even when I feel like crap, I'm in! (now, I don't discount the fact that our deeds are judged and put through the fire to come out as gold, silver or wood etc. But that's a different subject.)
John 4:13 "... but those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life."
If you drink it, you've got it. It's in you. It's fresh and bubbling. You don't suddenly wake up and the spigot is shut off. Interesting thought when we think we're failing right? Interesting.
garage at my first apartment... to a non insulated-non electrified garage at our second apartment... to the storage closet on my deck, I'd say I've come full circle. I've had time to think about my desires for a functional, purposeful garage. No pipe dream of a woodshop here, just Real, Useful, Simple Man Space here. No 30-30's on the wall (might shoot someone), no gianormous stereos (might get stolen), no "Home Depot Credit Card Special" cabinets and tools. Just a blank slate, and a frugal handyman wanting to fix the world one project at a time. I'll post more when I get more to post about it. But, be warned... I know where to get PVC here.
