flip flops

Tread in the sand
and leave your footprints

step back and look at them

Where you have walked has left an
impression

What will be left of us when we've left?

What traces will we leave?

Will the evidence be compelling?

What will the surviving witnesses say?

How will they know we were here?

Will the future be better
because of what we did with our
present?

Our feet say a lot about our identity.

Think about it.
When we are born they take our foot prints,
to verify who we are.

The best way to learn is by example.

God told us to follow the example of the "ant"

"Go to the ant,
consider her ways, and be wise"
(Proverbs 6:6)

this very day you will preach
"some kind of sermon"
to those with whom you come in contact.

What exactly will your message be?

Remember, our Message is not about ourselves;

we're proclaiming Jesus Christ, the Master.

All we are is messengers, errand runners from Jesus for you.

It started when God said, "Light up the darkness!" and our lives filled up with light as we saw and understood God in the face of Christ, all bright and beautiful.

If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness.

We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives.

That's to prevent anyone from confusing God's incomparable power with us.
