this is no longer my blog

So I went out to eat with my neighbor for supper, and we went to a buffet place. It got me thinking that a buffet is a lot like God's grace. There is an abundance of it, and each are given as much as they need, and there's always some left over. The only real catch, however, is that I have to pay $6.94 for this buffet. That's where the comparison falls short. You see, God's grace is a free gift. God doesn't charge us $6.94 a piece. In fact, if you think about it, it's like God picked up the tab for our grace buffet. God paid the ultimate price in sending God's son to die for us. It's like we made it to the cashier and God said "You know what? It's on me. Go and eat abundantly." And every time we come together for Eucharist it's a reminder of the grace buffet, and a foretaste of the even better one to come. Oh, and another thing, this buffet place's fried chicken wasn't that good. Grace tastes a lot better.
