#SundaySip


A sip is a small amount, just a taste. Today's #SundaySip is from Cole Sako. She's someone I followed on Facebook and Instagram (she's vanished from social media recently). She consistently provides this great *sips* of thoughts about faith. This is one she wrote the end of April 2017 and I come back to it often. It was such a great thought, such a powerful visual. I hope this *sip* is perhaps the taste you are looking for, even if you didn't know it! 

Our Daily Bread.
We found a new local bakery and are in love. The bread is fresh and the service is good and at the end of the evening they'll give you a large baguette for free.

Do you know why? Because by the next morning the baguette is hard as a rock. Seriously - I'm talking about a weaponized carbohydrate. It's darn pretty to look at but no longer edible.                                                                

I've said the Lord's Prayer for years. It's automatic. The words hardly hold meaning for me some days because I've memorized them and memorization can often lead to desensitization. But that baguette kept bothering me.
(As bread tends to do.)

Am I asking for tomorrow's promise today? Am I asking for tomorrow's finance today? Am I asking for tomorrow's redemption today? Am I asking for tomorrow's miracle today?

Give us this day our daily bread, God. Not tomorrow's bread because it won't be good and you'll give us good bread tomorrow. Give us this day our daily bread, God. Our daily temperance and our daily kindness and our daily gentleness and our daily peace and our daily wisdom and our daily patience and our daily healing.

It turns out, bread is the answer to all my problems. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
