Farewell meat and soon enough farewell cheese...
...I'll meet you on the other side of the grave. I'll meet you at the resurrection, the death destroying triumph of Christ our God. It's not that i haven't enjoyed your company; you have been very near to my heart. I have savored you and rejoiced at your consumption, but again i say we must part. Do not be sad dear friend, i'll recall you fondly as i pass In and Out and other such smokey devil establishments. But for now, be gone!
As i find each year at this time i'm really in need of this season. I need this check to push my face up against the cold thick glass of life's rink. I need to look at the crowd of spectators (read the saints) and reflect that i haven't nearly been skating my ass off. I haven't been hammering after that puck; i haven't been a part of nearly enough assists when my team has needed me to step up. As a matter of fact, i've been standing off to the side, cringing at the crisp roar of approaching skates. I'm ready for this check. By the grace of God i'll have some of my own checks to deliver at the end of this.
Pray for me as I pray for you my friends and bloggers.
