Bananas

.
This . . .
I ate a banana this morning on the way to work and I couldn't help but think how totally cool a banana is. I mean that whole peel deal is amazing, and who doesn't like a banana? Babies like 'em, monkey's like 'em, and I like 'em. The guy in front of me in the checkout line at Walmart was buying four bananas and he paid 86 cents. I'm telling you, you need to eat more bananas.

That . . .
Here is how my day went. I would be working on something and before I could finish it, the person would come in to pick it up.
I would say, "It will be about another twenty minutes".
They would say, "That's fine, I'll just wait".
So I would hurry to finish and then be happy to finish and deliver the job to the customer patiently waiting at the counter.

Then, I would start working on something else and before I could finish it, the person would come in to pick it up.
I would say, "It will be about another twenty minutes".
They would say, "That's fine, I'll just wait".

Yep. That's what happened.

This is That . . .
“The extreme edge of the holiness movement said, ‘before you have fellowship with us, you must totally embrace holiness’; the reaction of the Emerging Church is to say, ‘I’ll love you unconditionally until you choose to be holy.’ What is needed is a more biblical and less sentimental posture towards human nature - that true love does not shrink back from telling one who is in sin the truth about righteousness, yet is willing to love someone freely as they wrestle with truth’s implications."
