I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!
Judy Palmer
Throw a frog into a
Pot of boiling water;
He will jump right out.
Throw a frog into a
Pot of cold water,
Slowly raise the heat;
Even unto death.He will remain oblivious
Throw a good man
Into a cruel society;
He will see injustice clearly and
Speak out.
Throw a good man
Into a cold and polite society;
Slowly change
Standards and values.
He will remain silent,
With no sense of right or wrong
Even unto death.

That’s why we need good disciples to pour cool water into the hot water to keep the “frogs” alive.

I spoke with a mom the other day about the new law being passed for co-ed bathrooms and locker rooms for the schools to accommodate children who’ve chosen an “alternative lifestyle”. She thought about it a moment and said, “Well, I can see the reasoning behind it.”
Wow.
Hey, Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🙂

It’s been said that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. The price of freedom in Christ is even more so. Thanks for your thoughts today.
