Chicken McNuggets & God



We put our TRUST in to every day things. We trust that when we give our money to a bank that it will be safe. We trust that when we get in our car and drive to work that it will not blow up. We trust that when we go to our doctor he/she will be able to "fix us".

The ins and outs of life are "figured out for us" so we can go about our day.

So why do we put so much TRUST into the world around us but have such a difficult time with FAITH?

Why do we slide through life believing companies or doctors know what is best for us, but we disregard Matthew, Mark, Luke and John?

It can't be a matter of present vs. history because we BELIEVE history. In school we read about Christopher Columbus, Caesar and World War I. We weren't there but most of us believe that it happened.

Maybe it's interpretation that people have a problem with? The Bible has been interpreted by thousands of people...so do we just disregard it entirely? Throw up our hands and say "it can't be true"?!?!?

Well I have an important announcement people: EVERYTHING IS OPEN FOR INTERPRETATION! Chicken McNuggets are open to interpretation (FACT: There are 38 ingredients in McDonald's chicken Mcnuggets. They are 44% chicken. Look it up)

Okay, maybe it's a matter of proofScientific research? No. That can't be it either because there is plenty of proof that the Bible is fact. Click Here

For me personally, I don't need proof. Some things can be seen, felt and heard without a history book. I like to think of my relationship with God as my sixth sense...sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing and God.:)

A relationship with God makes life on earth worth living. Too many terrible things (created by humans) happen and I have to believe that God has as plan. I have to remind myself on a daily basis that there are lessons in obstacles and never ending hope when you are hand-in-hand with God.

Just like riding a bike, a relationship and TRUST in God takes practice. A practice worth pursuing every day...

As for me and my relationship with God...I'm Lovin' it! :-)



God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.
