A Lunch Break Soda

I usually don't drink pop because of football. They say its not good for you but how can something that tastes so good be so bad? Anyways we have a week long break from lifting and running so naturally I said where's the pop at. Not just any pop though. Root beer. That's my stuff, nothing better then a good root beer. For lunch break I decided to run over to the Dariy Queen since it was nice and close. I ordered a shrimp basket with a root beer of course. If there's one thing about root beer I could do without its all the bubbles, they make your glass look full then when they settle your glass is only half full. The same can be said for new Christians if we aren't careful. When you first invite Christ into your life you have this new and exciting energy to want to tell everyone! In fact it's so contagious that your energy or "bubbles" multiples by the second to the point where you almost over flow with Christ's love! But as people begin to talk about you and crack jokes you realize that "bubbles" aren't the cool thing so you fade back down to just half a cup of root beer. The secret to keeping a full cup of root beer is not to stop when the bubbles hit the top, the secret is to shift the glass and to keep going. It's funny that all the other "sodas" or people try to tell you that bubbles aren't exciting or good because without bubbles the soda is flat and loses its taste. Without Christ our lives are flat and loses its taste.

Matthew 13:3-9 “Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds. ⁴ As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. ⁵ Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. ⁶ But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died. ⁷ Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants. ⁸ Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted! ⁹ Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”
