The game of pool: A question

 Well with all this political correctness and cancel culture going on around us, I got a question?  Can we still play the game of pool? 

I mean think about it.  You use a white ball to knock around all the colored balls trying to get them into a hole/pocket.  The balls are out of sight and no longer important.  We strive to see which person can use the white ball to knock all the balls off, saving the all-black ball for last.  Once you get that into the pocket, out of sight you are considered the winner.   

I am surprised we still have this game.

3 bones

God gave us three major bones.  A wishbone. This helps us with goals, planning in our life, our future, and dreams.  He gave us a backbone so we can stand up for ourselves and what we know is right and he gave us a funny bone so we can see the humor of life and enjoy the gifts given. 

A good real life parable

 This morning I walked out to our backyard to stretch after a workout. A black bird was sitting on my fence making a horrible, screeching sound.  I noticed the bird would look at me then look down. As I walked over toward it, I noticed a rattlesnake moving under the fence.   The snake is now deceased. But I was more fascinated by the bird. I really think he was warning me. Maybe God put that instinct in the bird. Perhaps God used that part of his creation to once again prove his love for me. But then I had a second thought: the next time your pastor is preaching about a particular sin and all you hear is him screeching perhaps you might try to take notice.  Maybe he sees the deadly snake in the grass.
