Sanctified Sugar Rush



Well, this didn't quite make Chapel Chat but as I was listening online to Doug's message from last Thursday since I missed, I couldn't help but revisit the teaching in my mind when I saw this photo of poor Kate.

Worldly sugar satisfies for a time...but SANCTIFIED sugar lasts a lifetime.
JESUS is sanctified satisfaction (wow, what a t-shirt...did you know that Jeff and I almost once started a Christian t-shirt business?)
anyway, yes...Jesus is sanctified and even sanctioned satisfaction.

In this picture however, we get a good view of why worldly sugar does not always satisfy...this is Kate after trying to take a first bite of a VERY sugary cupcake...too much frosting and a whole lotta family feeling sorry for this one SWEET baby!
The point? Eventually, WORLDLY sugar feels like it got SHOVED up your face.
Gosh...it is so hard for me to look at this picture... and yet it is still a very small but REAL representation of... the TRUTH!
The sugar of Jesus would never make you feel the way the sugar in this picture does...
Do yourself a favor...choose Jesus. :)

I'll have you know that Sloan made these cupcakes! Lol They were gorgeous and DE-LISH too...but I'm with Kate...sometimes a big mouthful of sugar right off the bat is not the way to go...
$2.50 for a mediocre cupcake that is so expensive just so I can pay her light bill?
I think not...homemade is the way to go!
