EN83 In The Bin
24/09/10 20:04 Filed in: Titus
So anyway, a woman put a cat in a bin and was caught on CCTV doing it. It became a big thing with deaththreats, fakebook pages and the like being taken down as the bile brimmed away.
Whatever else this event signifies, it is surely interesting to reflect on what a person is like when they aren't being watched. Is this an unguarded peek into the heart of every person? Granted, we aren't all nasty to little animals, but there are inevitably some shameful things going on the unprompted depths aren't there?
My end solution makes a pretty obvious point, so I won't elaborate on it. As ever, you can click to see a bigger version.
Titus 3 says that in spite of how messy our track record - be in public or private - there is a well of unstoppable grace that filled up for us when Jesus gave Himself on the cross:
3At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 8This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
Fabulous good news for those who feel ashamed of their bin habits.
More goodies...
I thought I would do one of those exhaustively tiresome posts that documents everything I did to get to the final stage, but frankly I am already tired just thinking about it... To compensate here are a handful of the roughs that led up to this one. Make of them what you will, but hopefully they will give you an idea of the drafting process.
I hope it isn't too tiresome...
