Tried With Fire

While many people are preparing to honor John Calvin's spiritual legacy on the 500th anniversary of his birth, another celebration of sorts is planned for the same day. Chick-fil-a is celebrating cow appreciation day on July 10th. They are giving away free combo meals throughout the day. However, the catch is that the customer has to dress from head to toe like a cow. A partial cow costume or accessory will get you a complimentary entree. Any takers?

Innocent Eye Test ~ Mark Tansey 1981 Do you ever think about things too much? I'm not talking about worrying, but ruminating too much even about good, healthy, theological issues. Since cows are ruminants, and rumination means to ponder , muse , or meditate , my daughter will say that I am mooing if I am in one of my thinking moods. Well, sometimes I moo too much. It often starts out as an honest search for an answer to a theological question or trying to find the root of an issue in my life but then the rumination takes on a life of its own. Rather than just living, I think about living rather than just doing it. So rather than analyzing to death what and why I am doing what I am doing, maybe I just need to get on with life and live it. This verse is a good reminder when I over moo it. The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13
