Fast, Simple, Easy Victory

There is no such thing. 

Shannon makes great dinners. One of my favorites is her roast beef. There is no such thing as fast roast beef, not that’s any good anyways. The longer it is in the crock pot, the better.

Colonel Sanders gave the world a gift with his eleven herbs and spices. I don’t know what they are. It seems no one else does either because there is no chicken that tastes remotely as good as a chicken leg from KFC. It’s a complicated recipe.

My favorite meal of the year is at Thanksgiving. Everyone pitches in for this one. A moist, baked turkey, mashed potatoes with the perfect amount of milk, butter and salt, grand’s butter tastin’ biscuits, followed with a slice of lemon meringue pie topped with Cool Whip. Pulling this one off is anything but easy.

Anything worthwhile is a bit complicated, pretty difficult and takes a long time to accomplish.

The restaurant next door to our church just closed down. All in that location do. I had high hopes for them. They were around a while, but just didn’t make it.

I hear preachers talking about how easy it is to have a victorious life. They must not have read Ecclesiastes chapter 9. It is possible to live a victorious Christian life, but it’s not fast, simple, or easy.

A victorious life is not a life lived without difficulty. It is a life that overcomes difficulty. 

I have to stop writing when I’m hungry.
