It was during our bible study a week or so ago, that Angela Thomas told a story about her son, sneaking Oreo's from the pantry. She called him over and there he stood before her, one hand behind his back, crumbs still covering the front of his shirt.
Her story was about mercy - which her son received for telling the truth (along with a punishment for disobeying). She also asked us, however, how many times we stand before God with one hand behind our backs.
Oh, yeah... "You can have all of me, except this...."
As days have gone past, comments from unrelated people have helped to clarify and point out to me what exactly I hold...
I fear my Lenten fast - which started before Ash Wednesday - is going to continue past Easter...
