WITHOUT JESUS--WHAT A MESS

I still remember the suppertime. We were having spaghetti – and what’s spaghetti without adding Parmesan Cheese. As you know Parmesan, once refrigerated, tends to clump together. So I took the jar of Parmesan, and in dramatic fashion, held it in front of my face and began to shake it violently. The clumps started to blow apart – unfortunately the lid was loose and the now busted clumps flew into my face and hair. Lots of laughter ensued, but without the lid…what a mess!

Just like life – without Jesus, what a mess. Jesus keeps the lid on and holds everything in its place.
