You May Be The Only Jesus

How often do you catch yourself being a hypocrite?

Probably rarely happens.

How often do others catch you?

Probably all the time.

My theory is this, if you don’t spend a lot of time with self-reflection, you are probably sending the wrong message.

A hard pill to swallow, but go ahead and try to tell me this is a lie.

What’s on the line, every minute of every day is simply this: You may be the only Jesus people see.

Why Did He Spend 35 Innocent Years?

Many Things Are Hard To Understand

James Bain spent 35 years in prison for a rape he did not commit. Can you even begin to imagine what kind of hell that must have been? New DNA evidence proves he has been innocent. For 35 years.

Yesterday’s Orlando Sentinel article tells a brief story and shares video of James.

Can we all be kind enough to pause today, and perhaps in the coming days as well, and pray for James and his Family. There is no way to make up 35 lost years.

Can you imagine? What would you do? What do you hope for James?

What catches your eye, makes you pause, provides a laugh, an “aha moment”, an insight, a doubt, or a sign?

Some people wear the Jesus bracelet WWJD, the crucifix, have the Jesus Loves You bumper sticker. And then there’s the car. Who knew?

Trust In Veggie Tails?

What do you use as a quick reference? You know, for locking in a story or a metaphor for something critical you expect from young children?

The older children get, the more there is to worry about (right?), like sleepovers at someone else’s place. You hope and pray that young boys will follow a good path and not stray too far from it.

Children have extremely limited experience in dealing with temptation, with peer pressure, and ultimately, they choose a path.

Our son (10) grew up watching Big Idea’s Veggie Tales. I pulled out the morale of the story from Rack, Shack & Benny last night: Do what you know to be right, even if everyone else isn’t.

Chapin asked me why I always use movies to make “philosophical” points. I smiled.
