The room was a wreck. Mismatched furniture. Faded paint. Ugly light fixtures. Knick-knacks crammed into crowded spaces. The homeowners tried to make some improvements, but the room kept getting worse.
Thus begins a home-improvement TV program. After interviewing the owners, the designer draws a plan to maximize the rooms potential. Program producers create suspense by building up to a moment referred to as the reveal. Viewers watch the progress and ooh and aah with the homeowners when they see the new room.
Over time, the world has become like a neglected room. People bring in things that dont belong. They arrange priorities in ways that hinder potential. Lives become dull, overcrowded, and ineffective. Self-improvement projects offer little help.
The Bible is Gods plan that shows the best way to live. God builds suspense throughout the Old Testament. Then, at the appointed time, comes the great revealJesus! Upon seeing Him, Simeon exclaimed, My eyes have seen Your salvation . . . , a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel (Luke 2:30-32).
We become part of Gods great reveal when we follow His design and Christs example.
Happy July!!!
Because Obama is failin’
There could be a chance for Palin,
As long as people aren’t bailin’
Meltwater from out of their home.
She might go tripping to Russia,
She might, but please don’t rush her,
Another insult might crush her,
And send her packing for Nome.
Just like the quote from twenty plus years back
Made by a recent college grad who just entered the work force
"Just when you think you have it all figured out,
The world comes and makes you a freshman again."
So I shelve the memories of 2 inch groups at 20 yards
and I put into perspective the even better performance
I had in 1983 with my compound bow
Back to basics, and a return to the rudiments
I have been there once
I can be there again
