The Organ Recital

I have no voice today. Literally. None. I woke up with a cold or allergy-symptom-related sore throat  that I saw coming, but have been in denial since its onset. SO, let the "organ" recital begin!

(To the tune of 'Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring') - Sing out loud, cause I sure can't!

Vocal chords are tired and silenced
Skin is dry and itchy-bad
Stomach's bleh, from all the Airborne 
Bowels? I think I'll take a pass..
Lungs are pushing air through the passage
Making me cough with every breath
Liver's glad this day's soon over
Heart knows this is just a test!

Ahhhhh...........mennnnnn.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Corinthians 4: 7)

Thanks to my dear friend Toni Birdsong for giving me permission to use her "organ recital" term. She has NO idea how it launched a whole new idea in this comedic brain!

The Stinky Sock Sistas


I know I should wear my eye glasses all the time but I'm a rebellious sort. The perpetual tweeting and texting via the microscopic view of an iPhone reminds me and proves my point: I scan and "think" I read your tweet, text or update correctly. For a good laugh, you really have to check out the website for iPhone auto-correct bloopers. Just Google that and you'll see what I mean!

Yesterday, one of my on-line buddies posted a fun tweet that said, "love my sticky sock sisters"... Sticky. The operative word here. It's the buzz! It's the word that is frequently used in marketing - the staying power of a brand; the clinging and adhering of a product or service that says, "I can't live without this!!" (Which is why @stickyJesus, the trendsetting Biblical truth-filled book by my friends, Tami Heim and Toni Birdsong, is a must read!)

Knowing all that, I still thought I read "stinky" sock sisters. LOL! Need my glasses. But then I thought, "Hmm....Sticky? OR Stinky. Now there's an oxymoron! Definitely two words that don't go together! If you're not "sticky" with your faith or living each day with the message branded to your forehead- "I can't do it without Christ", then maybe we are "stinky".

"For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?" 2 Corinthians 2: 15, 16.

There are days when I'm much more stinky than sticky with my faith. I don't want to smell like a rotting corpse to my world anymore...

The socks and the attitude are in the washer now....
