Sometimes I prefer boring days. Seems like recently I've had too many errands and I have hardly thought about Christmas.

As Is

Read: 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. —2 Corinthians 5:17

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 3-4; Hebrews 11:20-40

---

The beat-up old car sits on the used-car lot, rusty and forsaken. Years of abuse and hard driving have taken their toll on the formerly shiny automobile.

A man walks onto the lot and is attracted to this rust bucket. He plunks down cash and the salesperson hands over the keys while saying, "I'm selling you this car 'as is.'" The new owner just smiles; he knows his cars, and he's about to restore this castoff to its former beauty.

Across town, a troubled woman sits in forlorn sadness, contemplating where she went wrong. Years of abuse and hard living have taken their toll on what was once a vibrant young girl. She's been mistreated by others so many times that she feels she has little value anymore. And after making her own mistakes and living with her own bad choices, she's sure she will be left on life's junk heap forever.

But then someone tells her about Jesus. Someone mentions that Jesus specializes in castoffs, that He is waiting to transform anyone who trusts Him—even her. Someone tells her that Jesus will take her "as is." She believes. She trusts. And Jesus begins to restore another lost person to the abundant life He has promised. —Dave Branon

The new life in Christ has begun—
The past with its darkness is gone;
Look closer to see what the Savior has done,
For change is beginning to dawn. —Hess

Salvation is not turning over a new leaf, but receiving a new life.

Chasing the blues away in New Orleans

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Glad you told me it was New Orleans. I thought it was Mexico when I saw all those wires on the sign.

[tuliptree76]

Thank you for the Our Daily Bread posts, Mayor. I hope you are having a great week.

[tuliptree76]

Happy Fast Food Day!

[tuliptree76]

That last post made me more hungry. I haven't eaten breakfast this morning. LOL!
