Poopstain

Before I get into the main message of today's blog...I'm going to go through a rundown of my wonderful day. German class, which was amazing (we'll get back to that later.) I hung out with a bunch of new PSEO friends! It was great! Then I crashed the PSEO meeting and it was wonderful and tons of fun. There were TONS of people walking around campus with orange arm/headbands and nerf guns. The reason? A MASSIVE game of Humans vs. Zombies...whoever failed to tell me about it...I am sad I was not included. Anywho...AMAZING!

So....I went to German class where a BFA (acting) student who is a senior pretty much explained how he likes "poop" because it is pretty and fun and such. It was extremely hilarious! The entire class was laughing. However, I'm the kind of person that likes to over-analyze everything. So this is what I got out of today's funny conversation.

He enjoys poop, he thinks it's fun pretty, and whatever else he said. Think about it....GROSS! How many of you would enjoy playing with your poop? I sure wouldn't. Anyway our sins are like poop. And while we should all run away from temptation and sin (that's what the bible says) some of us choose to play with our poop. Some just play with a tiny bit others play with a lot of it (I could have added an inappropriate pun here but didn't.) However, no matter how much you play with...it is still poop, it is still nasty and will get every where. Whether you sin a little or a lot, big sin or little sin, God tells us all sin is the same. We should not want to play around with it, we should think it's gross and try to flee from it.

Even though we all deal with our fair share of crap (pun intended) God sent his son. He didn't send his son because we are "pretty good" but because we are all sinners and mess up. If we were "pretty good" then we wouldn't need a savior, but we do. We are all equally bad. But God sent his son, Jesus Christ, to wash away our sins. He removes all the crap from our lives (pun intended again.) All we need to do is to ask him to rid us of our sins.

Start thinking of sin as poop...see how appealing it is then....
