So Real It’s Almost
Human’s get hungry several times each day. No brainer, right?
We are always needing to feed ourselves.
Enter the rat race and insanely busy schedules. Enter fast food establishments. Enter television.
The other day I saw a Burger King commercial, touting the toys in the kid’s meal packages.
The kids commented on the furry animal toys which are the current give-away.
“So real, it’s almost, real.”
Unexplainably, I immediately thought about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit – about Faith.
So real, it’s almost, real.

Where do you volunteer? Presumptuous of me to think you volunteer, right? Maybe. Maybe not.
You do volunteer, don’t you? Not judging anyone, simply assuming everyone does something, no matter how big or how small.
When I look at volunteer opportunities, there are a few criteria:
- We do it as a Family
- We look for “traditions”
- We focus on a learning point
- We have to be able to integrate it into our lives
This morning is a perfect example. I’ll be reading as a Lector, and Cheryl will act as a Minister of Holy Communion.
Our son (9) has seen us do this once or twice a month for his entire life.
We also have him place our offertory envelope in the collection plate every week. He knows how much money we give.
When he gets older, we are confident that our actions will instill in him a duty to serve others with his time, talent and treasure.
Do you ever think about the messages you send to your children, or the young people in your lives if you have no children?

Couldn’t Do It
Couldn’t watch TV yesterday.
This isn’t a stretch for me because I rarely watch it anyway.
But I hear about it on Facebook, Twitter and emails.
And it comes as no surprise. Humanity always wants to help during disasters.
Haiti.
Devastation. Suffering.
Faith. Hope.
What good does God do when disaster happens?
You have an answer, right?
God Whispered To Me
Blogging, if you’ve ever thought about doing it, really challenges you to discover, deep down inside, what you believe in.
And when you post it on the Internet, the whole world sees it.
It really forces you to commit to your beliefs. And even better, it challenges you to rise to the behavior you preach about.
It’s transformed my life.
Now, God has whispered to me that others may also find this transformational tool helpful. You can do it. 🙂
But do you want to?
