Where's My Porridge?Baby Bear goes downstairs and sits in his small chair at the table, he looks into his small bowl. It is empty. "Who's been eating my porridge?!!," he squeaks. Papa Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair. He looks into his big bowl, and it is also empty. "Who's been eating my Porridge?!!," he roars. Momma Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells, "For Pete's sake, how many times do we have to go through this? "It was Momma Bear who got up first, it was Momma Bear who woke everyone in the house, it was Momma Bear who made the coffee, it was Momma Bear who unloaded the dishwasher from last night, and put everything away, it was Momma Bear who went out in the cold early morning air to fetch the newspaper, it was Momma Bear who set the table, it was Momma Bear who put the cat out, cleaned the litter box, and filled the cat's water and food dish, and, now that you've decided to drag your sorry bear-butts downstairs, and grace Momma Bear's kitchen with your grumpy presence, listen good, cause I'm only going to say this one more time... "I HAVEN'T MADE THE PORRIDGE YET!!"

Caffeinated DissonanceA new stumbling block opened just down the street: Starbucks.
I am not usually a big fru-fru coffee drinker. Usually the blacker the better for me. But I'm not against the occasional Carmel Macciato either. Oooh - just looked up the nutritional info (250 calories, 9 grams of fat). Ouch. Maybe I'll take that into consideration a little more often...
Honestly, the calories aren't the thing that bothers me most.
It's driving up in my mini-SUV, ordering a $3.89 grande drink, paying by credit card, then rolling out from the overhang with my steaming cuppa' joe only to pass a homeless man dripping in the rain. What do I do with that?
I know there are a lot of reasons he could be homeless. Probably some wrong choices, maybe a little bad luck. Maybe mental health issues. And there are lots of places that offer assistance. Churches, missions, shelters, even the government for crying out loud! And don't I deserve an occasional indulgence? After all, I try to be a good steward of the finances entrusted to me, don't make a lot of extra or rash purchases. And besides I'm tired from a long day with two little ones. Wouldn't a little sweet caffeinated pick-me-up be alright once in a while?
I know the answers to a lot of these questions. But tonight there was just a little bit of dissonance in my heart as I drove by that man. I think the Lord is asking me to search my heat here. I want to have His heart. Blogging StyleI tend to think that I need to write a book everyday to keep things interesting here. However as I read other blogs I realize that most people don’t have the time to write a book either. So, what to post? Some ideas:
Any more ideas? I think I’ll run with this for a while. |
