Party

"You've got to fight, for your right, to parrrrrrrty." Beastie Boys one hit wonder.

Think of the most fun party you have ever been to or been a part of.......OK that's enough time. Pretty fun right?  We are told that heaven is going to be like that; times infinity! A never ending party; the best food and wine, friends, family, and famous folks you only read or heard about.  As James Grogan says "Baptists will be at there own table with juice boxes and mac-n-cheese." wearing there big boy pants no doubt. An eternity to party on dude.  Jesus the host, throwing it for us, because we fought for the right to party!  Everyone is invited, several RSVP, even then, some who accepted the invite ultimately allow excuses to get in the way and don't show. Most, however, decline the invite altogether.


Our fight is not of flesh and blood but spiritual.  Working at Trader Joe's, I constantly have eye candy dangling before eyes.   It's a fight to put on the blinders, nine out of ten times I ....fail.  Thank God it's by grace through faith, not of doing good deeds or keeping a clean slate, or one would be able to boast and think they made it to the party of their own doing. Nope, it's all about accepting the invite, and fighting to follow through and showing up at the party.
