I am working on editing my first novel. I am very excited about publishing it, and
very blessed to have someone much better that I am at grammar, who checked it
for me. Reading through it, I loved
this part. Sometimes I forget that God
doesn’t want us to be a loogie! So you
are now going to be able to read an excerpt from my book…
Megan and I sat
down and took inventory of the night and decided that we needed a girlie
night. We painted our toenails, talked
about boys. We talked about Paul, and a
new guy that she met on the plane. Oh
Megan- she believed in Jesus but instead of walking the “straight and narrow”
she preferred the wide and easy. It had
been a sensitive topic between us for years.
I would quote scripture to her and she would come back with God is a
loving God and His son died for our sins- he died anyway, so why not live it
up? The conversation usually went like this:
“Well
Megs…. If you were to be in a court of
law and had to account for all the bad stuff that you have done in your life
but you stood up and just said, you know I am sorry and you are a good guy so
let me off with out any punishment, do you think that the judge, a good judge,
a fair judge would let you off?”
To which she would respond: “I think that he would, because I am Megan – woman extraordinaire- but in reality, I know Jesus died for my sins, he just had to die a little harder for mine than yours.
“I am not saying that I am holier than you or anything
like that Megs,’ I would continue, “but lets look at it this way – you break
the law- You have known the law all your life and you break the law- then the
Judge pardons you, and you go and break the law again. The Judge decides to give you another
chance- but then you go and break the law AGAIN. By now the Judge is saying to himself, do you understand the law,
do you really think that I am a good Judge?
Do you really love that judge?
Revelations 3:16 says ‘ so, because you are lukewarm – neither hot nor
cold – I am about to spit you out of my mouth’ Megs- I don’t want you to be a
loogie!!!”
