Never Let's Me Down

Very few things never disappoint. I have been taking stock over my life the last few weeks of what is important and what I cannot live without. Amongst the obvious things like my family, my church, and my bulldawgs i found an interesting category of things that never disappoint.

A couple things that never let me down are Dr. Pepper and saturday morning.

Dr. Pepper is clearly the sweetest nectar in the world. I truly believe it has healing power. They say that it is healthy to smile therefore it is healthy for me to drink Dr. Pepper because it makes me smile. Also, it's origin is rumored to be linked to a cough syrup. One way or another it is a current blessing of mine that I am enjoying even now as I write these words.

Saturday morning is as special time throughout the duration of my life. As a child the highlight of my week was waking up on saturday to watch what seemed like an eternity of the greatest cartoons ever assembeled. From Ice Man to Papa Smurf it was one amazing adventure after another until soul train came on.(which meant the fun was over) And now as an adult waking up before my wife and daughter, running to get breakfast before they awake to pancakes and biscuits and fresh coffee is one of my greatest joys. I wonder what saturday morning holds for me in the future. I can't wait to find out.

Last but not least, is Jesus. He never has and never will disappoint. His gift of life that extends to me from the cross that he died on will never let me down. His love is mine for the taking. I will often disappoint him, but he will always be there even when I think he should have dumped me along time ago. Jesus would have each of us this saturday morning know that he will never let us down.

So go grab a Dr. Pepper and thank God for his love and the Cartoon Network.
