Done dining on the seat crack fries


Perhaps you have heard the plea for seat-crack-fry freedom and wondered, "What in the world is seat-crack-frylessness?" Well, I am glad you wondered. Now, I will attempt to describe the destruction of dining on seat-crack-fries and the peace that comes when you are seat-crack-fry-free.

Have you ever lost stuff in the cracks of your car seats? Maybe some change, a pen, billfold or cell phone. The abyss between the seats grabs loose items like a kid in a candy store. Oh, the things those seat cracks steal. I would venture to guess that one of the most common recovered seat crack items would be the fast-food-french-fry. And the thing about these fast food fries, is that they look just as good as the day they fell from the bag. They are an ageless wonder of sorts. You simply can not tell if that french fry is fresh-out-of-the-fryer or a few months old. Well, there is one way to find out. You guessed it, it is the freshness-taste-test. You think to yourself, "I should not do this," for just a passing moment, but the temptation is just too much to bear. You can not resist the look of crisp freshness and the choice to dine is done. Just like the old "found a peanut" song, you ate the seat-crack-fry,,, and it was rotten. Rest at ease. No one will blame you the seat-crack-fry is hard to resist.

Maybe, upon reading the seat-crack-fry-dining-indulgence illustration, you thought, "That is disgusting, I would never eat a seat-crack-fry." Or, maybe you are a frequent diner of the seat-crack-buffet. Regardless of which side of the seat-crack-fry partaking you fall on, we all have these temptations that appear to be to much to bear. We think, I know this is not good, I know this could be really bad, but the seat-crack-fries in our lives are hard to resist. Sometimes we willing walk into the buffet lines of such temptation and sometimes we just glance down and see the irresistible fry.

My prayer for your life is that you would be seat-crack-fry-free. I know that is impossible. The Word of God says, "In this life you will have trouble." The seat-crack-fry grossness is guaranteed. But the Good News, is that the Word of God concludes, with Jesus' words, "Take heart, I have come to overcome the world." Da Jesus Book, records it this way: "...Da peopo inside da world goin make you guys suffa. But make strong! I da winna ova all da power inside da whole world." (John 16:33 HWCNT)

If you have been dining at the wrong buffett and digging into your life's seat cracks, rest at ease, there is incredible peace in knowing that there is freedom from the guilt and shame in our recent dining and there is strength and power to overcome the next desire to dine. Greater is He, and He is on your side. Pursue seat-crack-frylessness!
