This Stinks!

     As much as I wish I had some bit of profound wisdom to share today, the truth is, I’m up to my elbows in ordinary again.  I’m slightly perturbed at the manufacturers of Safeguard because the whole pack of bath soap I bought last week smells lemony.  I’ve already opened three bars, and sure enough, they all smell the same.  Why couldn’t they just leave it alone?  I love Safeguard, but if this unfamiliar scent graces the next pack, I’ll be forced to move on to another antibacterial bath bar…a decision that pains me greatly.  Change is one thing.  Change where I have to make a decision is another thing completely!  Luckily, my Mr. Clean with GAIN has offset the Safeguard disappointment, and now instead of unfamiliar, lemony, cheap soap smell, my bathroom odor (and whole upstairs, for that matter) resembles a freshly washed load of laundry.  That reminds me.  The shower curtain needs washed.  *sigh* It stuck to my leg last night, and I thought I may have to consider an amputation. 
     Life is a vapor.  That means it passes fast…and frankly, sometimes it stinks.  My only word of advice is to pray for contentment instead of attempting to understand the situation, and “walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.”(Eph. 5:2)

1Timothy 6:6 “But godliness with contentment is great GAIN.”  ;-)

Face of Surrender

     For some time now, I have been considering and imagining a life fully surrendered to Christ...its meaning, its appearance, its result. ...
