It Doesn't Make Sense Does it? But it Does

I was on an airplane last week coming back to Bend from Chicago. The only way they could have packed more seats on that plane was to hang the seats from the ceiling. It was packed, I had an intense couple of days and spending time on a cramped and stuffed plane was not as my neighbor Mike says “pure joy”. I wanted to relax catch up on some work and have a little down time. As soon as the fasten seatbelt sign went off, the guy on front of me leaned his seat back to relax. You know what that does to the guy behind, yea ten pounds in a five pound bag.

I decided to make the best of things; I’ll watch the movie, remember how stuffed the plane was. For a guy like me that’s not a pencil neck. OK some might call me fat, I’m really robust. Just like I don’t snore I purr. You get the picture the seats were very very cramped. I couldn’t find the jack to plug my headset in. I had to get out of the seat, and while doing that I stepped on this poor ladies foot. After profusely and sincerely saying how sorry I was (she was very gracious thank you) I found the jack and hallelujah I had sound to go along with the picture. I watched the movie and enjoyed every minute of it.

After the movie was over I took my headset out of the jack because I thought everything was over. Can you tell I’m an inexperienced flyer? Well it wasn’t shows kept being shown. I wanted to listen, but I was afraid and didn’t want to go through the process of getting up stepping on the nice ladies foot. Sticking by rear end in the guy across from me face to find the jack again.

As I set there I realized this could be like that for people that haven’t asked Christ into their life. They see what’s going on, but they can’t hear anything. It doesn’t make sense to them. This asking Christ into your life and being a Christian thing. It just doesn’t make sense to them, so the question is most likely asked why should I do anything about becoming a Christian? As strange as it seems asking God to come into your life and asking God to forgive you of your sins. It works as time goes on and you start to understand. If you have question you can e mail me and we can discuss it further.
