Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

The Durian

I don’t have a regular routine for sleep. If I lay down before I am totally exhausted I can lie awake for hours. So many times I find myself late at night watching TV. The other night I was watching this guy named Andrew Zimmern on this show called “Bizarre Foods.” This guy travels the world looking for the most unique foods. He lives on a steady diet of bugs, entrails, and foods most of us would call disgusting. I saw him eat a goat’s eyes once . . ugh!

On this one show he was eating a tropical fruit called the durian. The durian is often called The King of Fruits. Either you love it or you hate it. Those who love it will do almost anything to get it. Those who hate it won’t get near it because of its pungent smell.

I am reminded that many-times we look at people the same way; some we find appealing others we find appalling. God is no respecter of persons and neither should we be. He loves the richest to the poorest, the youngest to the oldest. Remember we are to love one another and we are at our best when we serve God by serving our fellow man.
