This past Spring, a tech-loving teacher at our elementary school inspired several of us to give up pen and paper note taking. We’ve gone digital!🤗 It’s taken some getting used to, but I’ve gotten pretty good at jotting down colorful notes—using an iPad and Apple pencil.
One of the favorite features, on my go-to digital note app, is the shape tool. I can underline text, or draw almost any shape freehand, and the app straightens it out for me. It’s fascinating to see my imperfect square morph into a perfect square.
The other day in the car–while my wife was driving–I attempted to underscore some text (using the shape tool). Folks, my underlining was about as straight as a snake’s back! Yet, when I got to the end, and didn’t lift my pencil, the wavy mark snapped into place–true as an arrow.
I then recalled a famous quote by the former president of the seminary I attended:
God can strike a straight lick with a crooked stick.
L.R. Scarborough
I don’t know the context of this gem, but I imagine Rev. Scarborough sought to remind some young preachers that a perfect God could bless their imperfect efforts in the service of the gospel.
Kind reader, today we are blessed to continue in the same partnership. 🙏 May our freehand lines–drawn pointing to God–be straightened out by the Holy Spirit, reaching souls for Christ. AMEN!
To them God has chosen to make known among the gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 1:27 (NIV)
Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️ prayers and love.
