ANTI-Septic (or "Not Coming Up Roses")


For those of you who think that life's always coming up roses for Christians, check this out...

We are putting in some new grass, and yesterday we found a little puddle in our backyard (you can see where the dirt goes from dry to wet in the picture). No big deal...except that our back yard is where our septic field is located and the puddle is apparently a septic field issue. Good times...good times.

What an opportunity for perspective. I'm not excited about a septic field problem, but in a grand-scheme-of-things, big-picture perspective, this is one of those things that everyone gets to deal with from time to time.




PS I think I have my opening illustration for a sermon series called "Overflow" that we're kicking off this weekend! See how good God is! ...although, I'm not sure that this is exactly what Jesus had in mind when he talked about giving us "LIFE to the full".

    That's too funny! I love how "life" will give you the best illustrations at just the right time.

    That just goes to show you it's not always the cream that rises to the top.
