OOOPS!

I am sure that many of you have already seen this clip of the Miss Teen South Carolina butchering her answer about maps during the Q&A portion of the event. It is very funny and very uncomfortable to watch her struggle with the answer. There are two possible reasons for her failure. She did not know the answer (which is more than a little concerning) or she was so overwhelmed by the moment, the lights and that hunk A.C. Slater, ehrr, Mario Lopez that she buckled under the pressure.



This young lady made a big goof on national television. Of course the only real difference between the two of us is that I make most of my mistakes away from the public eye (and I know how to read a map.) The Apostle Paul writes the church in Rome about all of us falling short from time to time.

"But in our time something new has been added. What Moses and the prophets witnessed to all those years has happened. The God-setting-things-right that we read about has become Jesus-setting-things-right for us. And not only for us, but for everyone who believes in him. For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we've compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:21-24, The Message.)"

Pray today that we will all live the lives that God has called us to. I hope you have a great week, such as.

In Hope and Confidence,

Dave
