Social Baggage

Ever wonder what a movie poster for War Kittens would look like? Yeah, me too. So I made one. Thanks a lot, Capital One!

Someone I know failed in a very public way this week. The story is a headline on national news right now and will probably be in the morning paper.

I fail every day. I lose my temper. I try to make people think I’m better than I really am. I look twice at forbidden fruit. So do you.

The fact that I’m not a celebrity doesn’t make me any better.

It’s only by grace - a reward given by a merciful God that we could never, ever begin to earn - that any of us make it into His family. We confess our sin. He forgives us. That’s how it works. Not because He has to, but because He loves us.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
- 1 John 4:11

For most of us, confessing our sin would be the end of it. We did wrong, we find forgiveness and maybe suffer a small consequence, but we move on.

My friend has to sit in church tomorrow.. wondering who among us has seen the news.

I’m praying for you.
