Regarding the wine, I'm just a brilliant Google Master. I am, however, quite the connoisseur of Gatorade.
As I've thought a little on this while working, it's piqued my curiosity. Do you think we as church members are more susceptible to the wiles of the devil when we're feeling puffed up and prideful and not paying attention? Or do you think he does most of his damage when we are feeling weak and uncertain and all too painfully aware of his influence?
TGR, I think, a little of both! In either situation we wouldn't be living closely with the Spirit (fear is not of God, after all) so we would be in danger.
So according to the song, it's only ok to think all is well when things are bad? It's thinking that all is well when things seem to be good that gets you.
Thanks for the Monday morning smile. I especially love your signature, now with bacon. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteYipes! This is a great illustration!
ReplyDeleteI could have used this in my Gospel Doctrine lesson 2 WEEKS AGO! Great Example.
ReplyDeleteThe snake gives me the weebie jeebies!
ReplyDeleteNot to be confused with the "All is well" in the song "Come Come Ye Saints." I had to explain the difference not too long ago. Poor little birdie!
ReplyDeletenothing like seeing the whole picture!
ReplyDeleteLove this, MMM. It's something that has been in my thoughts a great deal lately due to circumstances that have rung close to home. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSnake's thinking, "man, I wish I had a good apricot port wine sauce to go with this".
ReplyDeleteMMM is thinking, "I wonder why TGR knows so much about wine?"
ReplyDeleteThis scares me. And disturbs me greatly! :)

Moral of the story...Watch the chest puffing.

ReplyDeleteI don't think I want to know if something is that close to taking my head off!
ReplyDeleteSandy
AWESOME visual! How how that sneakly little snake sneaks up on us. Pay attention little birdie!

ReplyDeleteOr, in the immortal words of Han Solo:
ReplyDelete"Great, kid. Don't get cocky."
This is an awesome blog :) Love especially the reverence post.
ReplyDeleteThe snake is only going after the bird because he couldn't eat anymore Cheetos after finding the crucifix in his snack. That tends to be off putting..
