So, the fourth of July has come and gone once more for another year. Josh and I went to both family and friend's houses and lit off some fireworks. One night during this weekend we dropped Abby off for a night with grandparents and we went down a back road to light a firework. We expected a nice big boom from it, but as we lit it and got to a safe distance we were soon disappointed. No, it was not a dud, the firecracker worked, but not as loud as we hoped for.
Pastor Kelly preached a message last year around the fourth and one quote I've remembered from it is "What kind of firecracker would you be? An explosion or a dud?" Well, nobody wants to be a dud, but what if you were just like that firecracker Josh and I shot off, not a dud, but nothing exciting or worth while? Tomorrow is our 6 week mark for revival at our church. This October will be my ten year mark of being saved. But what kind of "firecracker" have I been? I started off strong, but over the years I started to become more of just a pop instead of a BOOM. I don't want to just make a little noise and smoke for God, I want to make people stop and take notice. I want to be an ariel display for all to see. What will you be?
