Seven + Seven Things About a Very Best God
Somewhere a number of years ago I wrote down something. Today I have no idea where it came from. It struck me at the time as really good and worth keeping. I still feel that way. So, when I was cleaning out a desk that we were getting rid of in our current house remodeling project, I found it again and thought I would share it.

Seven Things a Very Best God Will Not Do

1. Take Your Pain Away
2. Kill or Hit
3. Give Up
4. Bore You or Waste Your Time
5. Lie
6. Leave You Alone
7. Whatever You Want

Which of course leads to:

Seven Things A Very Best God Will Do:

1. Make You Wait
2. Calm Your Fears
3. Show You What to Do Next (Even if it is nothing.)
4. Make You Laugh of Blink
5. Get You Through
6. Make Life Interesting
7. Set You Free

The preacher in me wants to make all kinds of commentary on these and how we in the church often misrepresent a very best God but I'll let you do that for yourself.

If anyone knows where this came from, let me know in a comment. I would like to give credit where credit is due.

Note: I know I promised the next installment of If I Went Back but the aforementioned remodeling project does have me out of sorts. The post is mostly written in my journal but I have to get it on here. So, let's see if next week will help. :)
