"It's Like Cotton Candy"

I had come upon a blogging block and I had no clue as to what I should blog about next. And alas, inspiration came to me in the form of a text message that my sister Joycelin sent me. The text message was actually a picture message of the Arizona sky. Not just any sky, this was a sky flavored with just enough pink to tinge the clouds a tasty cotton candy color. Joycelin captioned the photo "It's Like Cotton Candy". Cotton Candy we all know is a substance of airy threaded sugar and it just doesn't have much substance, also it is not known as a nourishing food source. Joycelin's picture message title clearly described to me how some Christians live their lives today. Sadly a lot of Christians are living a Cotton Candy Christianity, they take the nourishment out of the word of God, color it and fill it with sugary content and sweet things that they wish to consume. Let's not be a Cotton Candy Christian! Let us not lack faith and substance in our decisions and study, and let us live by the entire word of God. Let us feed upon it daily so that we may grow strong from its full nourishment, let us not melt away like spun sugar when our Faith is tested! I was originally going to write about the origin of cotton candy and fun facts but the above words seemed more important today. This week a friend died suddenly. Death makes you think just how fragile life is, we truly are as a shadow in this world. We never know when our Lord will call us home, it may be tonight, or in a week, or maybe even in one year. My point is that you must make sure you have Faith in the Lord and that your substance is in Him because all else in life is delicate and will fade away.

PS: I love you Joycelin thank you for having such a sweet spirit God will use you in so many ways.
