My Little Fun Dip Theologian
Posted by Jeff Jackson at 11:26 am
Its amazing what you can learn from your kids. Most of you know that I started a journey through the New Testament in 30 days. This has really opened my heart and mind to learning Gods word.
Just when I thought my weekly daddy daughter date night would turn out the same as most, I pulled out a Fun Dip and my daughter went crazy. You should have seen her face…it was priceless. As we started our sugar filled adventure I was attempting to teach my daughter the correct way to eat her newly acquired snack art and you could see the look of anticipation like never before. Not surprised my daughter was soon a pro eating her fun filled treat. Just like most of us, my daughter started eating the candy stick between licks and had soon resulted to her finger. I took a quick break to answer an email and when I looked up from my BlackBerry there was my daughter with her fun dip packaged ripped open with her head tilted back savoring every ounce of fun.
At that moment I thought we need to take the Fun Dip approach to learning about God. When was the last time you were so overly excited with Joy to learn about God that you forgot what you were doing in the moment? Why don’t we read scripture after scripture? Why can’t there be a desire to not stop until we consume all the Scriptures much like my daughter would not stop until all off the sugar was gone? We don’t rip God’s word open and tip back our head because we are so desperate to know Him. Why? Why?
Start today, never look back and change your world one lick at a time! Challenge yourself now.
