What?

‘Do what they say, say what you mean
Oh well, one thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another’

                   (‘One Thing Leads to Another’- the Fixx- from the 1983 album ‘Reach the Beach)

 ( I am loving Luke 16 vs 1-15 all week long baby)

??What??

       Anyway

         Is

                       ‘ The path’

 ⁸"The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly.

                         For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.

⁹I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

 To believe in Faith…

that a personal relationship between you and our Father

               is in anything..

                                         Is e v e r y t h i n g!

So..that being said…

 what about..the path?

          Should it even matter?

       When even our short sightedness ..

can be the stones covered with hot oil ..

to pave a highway ..

 for His Harley.

                                               

(Ah yes, speaking about the iron steed brings to mind a ‘garage’ story..)

-So…we were standing around the bikes, and the conversation went like this…

  ‘Michael’ - “You should come to church with us.”

            ‘Fred’ replies - “Got any good looking women there?”

                        Considering this, Michael and I look at each other, smile, and turn back to Fred- “Well, yeah man!”

Not exactly the offering you might have expected a couple of married, Jesus the Christ following bikers for ‘just one more, at any cost’.

           

                        But..

                       

                        The truth is..

 there are a lot of good looking women that attend our church.

(We married 2 of them! :>)

                                                            

Have you recently looked at ‘the path’ lately…yours?

             think about it for more than a minute…ok?

                        Sure, you can take our reply to Fred’s question, and get kind of starchy about it

                                           or

                                       as you reflect…

(and yes, I will always believe…’there are no coincidences’)

                      ….While we try to make ‘sense’ of ‘it all’ ..

                                 ….What if Fred went to check out some hot Christian chicks one Sunday..

                                                                   And God met him along the Way.

   

                                Isn’t it just that crazy?

                                                and so God!!

                                                      You know, I recently was perplexed about ‘the path’ others should take..

to realizing God through His Son, Jesus.

.

And I’ll tell you what I think about that-

            You might as well take a gallon of paint

 throw it in the air,

                   (!maybe get out of Its’ Way!)

   and after it hits the ‘canvas’ and dries…look at it,

                 and ‘decide’ what is ‘right or wrong’ about it.

           

     Well?

                       

                   Is what is on the ‘canvas’ not what you ‘expected’?

                             That, again, is just so our Creator!

           

        So if you find yourself in the ‘Door Way’, with your expectations

                                        be careful in what you think God can or can’t do with His ‘raw’ materials

                                            

                              cause’ someone going by that ‘Canvas’, 

                                                               may see Him ...

           and if you stop trying so hard to draw ‘the picture’..

                                        That ‘canvas ‘

may even be you.
