C.S. Lewis famously declared, “Christianity is the story of how the rightful King has landed, you might say in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in His great campaign of sabotage.”
I like that definition. It emphasizes some aspects of our faith that, for a variety of reasons, have been overlooked in the church for quite a while – and, in my opinion, to our detriment.
I have a favorite saying. I didn’t make it up. I just heard it. Maybe you’ve heard me say it before. It’s brilliant and goes like this:
We try to make family meals a priority in our house. Trust me: it doesn’t always work, and sometimes it’s a hilarious disaster, but it remains a priority. When we can make it happen, we do.
I still remember the day. We were driving home, passing by the local Dodge dealership. Through squinting eyes, I could barely make out the large letters advertising the newest deal on a quality Dodge vehicle. My dad asked me to read it; I couldn’t. Within a week or two, I was wearing glasses – plastic rim, brown, ugly, early 1980’s glasses. Can anyone say chick magnet?
Consider your average day. Maybe today. Maybe yesterday. How much of it did you spend worrying?
