Like My Tee Shirt?





Ok. Let's get something straight. I like the way I dress. Blue likes it, so that's good enough for me. I'm TOTALLY into the tee shirt untucked/blue jeans or cargos/flip flops look. I'm comfortable that way. No maintenance, really. I mean...you can ALWAYS REWEAR your jeans, right? (Don't tell me I'm the ONLY one that does this...God's watching, you know!)


So, to further explain my taste in clothing...all of my tee's have dorky sayings on them. You know the ones I'm talking about, I'm sure. Well, I have this ONE shirt that I LOVE. As much as someone could love clothing. I LIVE the saying on it (sometimes WAY too much). It says...

Procrastinators Unite Tomorrow


Amazing!


So I put this shirt on today, and it made me think.


Do we procrastinate too often when it comes to God? Before you answer that...be truthful. I know I do. I'm man enough to admit it. Right here. For the whole world to see.


How often do you read your "sword"? How often do your knees hit the floor? Are you REALLY thankful for what you have? Me? Not nearly enough. And I'm about as broke as broke can be, I promise! LOL


Do you stop yourself from flipping off the guy on I-75 that cut you off? Or how about that man that sits on the side of the road with the hungry sign? What about the time your sibling REALLY needed you to be there, and you thought the football game was more important? The time when you "pretended" to care about what your friend had to say. There are WAY too many instances. Be TRUTHFUL. I'm hitting you right now with the cold hard facts. Right square in the mug. There are WAY too many of us out here that "claim" to walk the walk - but do we?


The Book tells us that it's OK to slip up once in a while. It's BOUND to happen, and usually does. And one of the coolest things about God, He's gonna forgive us. He's always forgiving. You gotta LOVE that, right?


Thank you Jesus! You Da Man! High Five!


Well, I'm saying right now - God, forgive me. Forgive me for slipping up. Forgive me for not holding Your standards higher. I love You. And I PROMISE that I will do better. And I will deliver (I'm a pretty good PIZZA delivery guy!), just like You delivered us! Thank you for waiting for me. Again.


Later this afternoon, after cleaning my apartment, I put on a clean tee-shirt. Boy did I need to do THAT! It says...


"as a matter of fact, the world DOES revolve around me."


And in His eyes, that shirt rings so true.


"If I see you next to never - How can we say forever?"

Dude:

You once again blow me away by your choice of words that go back to a song from the 80's...And watching Richard Marx reminds me of your hair back then...You did have great 80's hair..

Now on a serious note...Good stuff that I do chew on quite often...thanks for the illustration with the tee shirt...

Love ya Biff...Love ya Blue...
