Remember when you were a kid and you discovered you could drag you feet along the carpet and shock someone with a spark of electricity? I do. In fact, it was my favorite thing to do in the school library. I would get a really good charge happening and then walk up to an unexpected person from behind and touch their ear. Sometimes the spark was so big that I only got within a few inches and “Pow”, the spark would fly. The victim I did the prank to would scream so loudly they would get in trouble with the librarian which made the prank so much better. ( this was my BC days – before Christ)
The reason for “confessing” to my young devious ways was to talk further about my last posting on “Stewarding Grace”. The apostle Paul talked about how he was given certain gifts from God to build the church up with, and he was also given understanding about how others are given “Gifts of Grace” to make the church healthy and strong as well, like he was.
