Recall Notice

The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed "Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality," or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

Some of the symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.

The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.

For repair, please contact the manufacturer through prayer. Once connected, please upload your burden of sin through the repentance procedure. Next, download atonement from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control

Please see the operating manual, the Bible, for further details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded.

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention!

P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time.

*This is not original with me, I found it recently and though it would be a great topic to blog!

Just Friends?

Friends. This is a priceless commodity that we all enjoy. Friends are people we can relate to, share our heart with, and be ourselves around. Songs have been written about friends, sitcoms are based on the concept of friends, movies center on friendship, and marriages have been built by two people who were friends. We have known people who are our friends in various stages of life that we have lost contact with, like your best friend from high school or college. You have work friends, golfing buddies, guy friends, girl friends, school friends, and your best friend forever (also known as your BFF). We lump a lot of people under the title of 'friend'.

The Bible talks about a friend that sticks closer to us than a brother, and we sing songs in church like, "What a Friend we have in Jesus." To many people, Jesus is a friend, and rightfully so! But if Jesus is only your friend, you are missing out on so much more! He's the Healer, the Lover of my soul, my Strength when I am weak. He's my Defender, the Remover of fear, and the One who knit me together. He's the Man of sorrows, the living bread, and the Giver of life. I think that covers most of the areas of our life that we need more than a friend - protection, provision, defense, strength - these all come from our God.

Today, make sure Jesus is your friend - talk to Him today, pray with Him today, take Him with you on the road, but grab a hold of his strength and power today. Think through all of the many names of Christ and make Him intimately yours today.
