I was helping some family members move the other day and I was caught off guard. As I was driving I came around the corner and there was this image
Tempted anyone?
I don’t know if it was an apple that Adam and Eve ate, but I do know what this statue represent to me-a choice. I had been listening to the radio, but after seeing this piece of art my mind was flooded with thoughts of God’s love. I was reminded that God never stopped loving Adam and Eve-even after they sinned. God made His choice-even in their rebellion will I love them. I wonder how many of us move through life wondering if God could really love us, because we have made the choice to take the apple. I know that more times than I would care to admit I have made the choice to choose what I want over what God wants for me. Even when I make this choice the depth of God’s grace reminds me that He is calling me to choose to let go of my sin and embrace His love.
That lone apple hangs before each of us each day-what are you going to choose? My prayer is that you will choose joy and peace over momentary satisfaction.

Welcome to HR? Everything’s good in the Hood!
My favorite things around here are: Hiking trails and watching the birds.
Looking forward to your ministry here.
First off, happy Birthday! Hope it was a good one.
Second, on my previous comment, I meant that question mark to be an exclamation point! Don’t know how that switch happened.
