Horn Bar

Saturday nite, after an exhausting day of working
in the yard at Debbie’s house, we went out for dinner,
and then came back to Lapel thinking of watching a
movie, but we hadn’t picked up anything, so we
looked through her DVD’s and VHS tapes, and
somehow ended up watching a 30 minute episode
of "Veggie Tales", where Cucumber Larry and Tomato Bob
told the story of Joseph from the Old Testament, but
in the context of an American Western story.

I wasn’t really familiar with the "Veggie Tales" thing, having never had my own kids, but once I figured out the subtext of the story in front of me,I got really interested, and ended up really getting encouraged and inspired by the message, mainly of being patient of God’s plan, and continuing to "do what is right", even in the face of darkness and uncertainty, because He will provide in the end, when His time is right, but meanwhile, there is work we can and should be doing while we are planted wherever we are.

As if to drive the point home, at church today, we heard about Joshua, and I was encouraged to recommit myself to God’s plan, (Joshua’s Stone–24:26-27), and to challenge myself to remain faithful, even in times of darkness and uncertainty.

I love it when God speaks so clearly to me, especially when I need to hear Him.

Even if it is in the form of an animated cucumber.

They should really market this stuff to kids….
