You Should Spend the Day Reading |
You are one smart cookie, and most of your smarts have come from teaching yourself things. You are a glutton for information, and you read almost everything that you can get your hands on.
For you, there is nothing more luxurious than spending a day among books, articles, and maybe your own written word. You travel the world, meet new friends, live many lives, and earn new degrees simply through reading! |

BWAHAHAHAHA, works for me, I'm retired!
You Should Spend the Day Lounging |
You take the idea of self care seriously, and when you get a day off, you are all about renewal. Even if you spend the whole day on the couch, you never feel guilty about it. You know how much you need your downtime.
You are never one to believe that a day resting is a wasted day. Rest only makes you stronger, smarter, and saner. You treasure your quiet time, and even when life is hectic, you find it in bits and pieces as much as you can. |

Sweet Scent
April 19, 2017
Thanks be to God, who . . . uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.
2 Corinthians 2:14
Author Rita Snowden tells a delightful story about visiting a small village in Dover, England. Sitting outside a café one afternoon enjoying a cup of tea, she became aware of a beautiful scent. Rita asked a waiter where it was coming from, and was told it was the people she could see passing by. Most of the villagers were employed at a nearby perfume factory. As they walked home, they carried the fragrance that permeated their clothes out into the street.
What a beautiful image of the Christian life! As the apostle Paul says, we are the aroma of Christ, spreading His fragrance everywhere (2 Cor. 2:15). Paul uses the image of a king returning from battle, his soldiers and captives in tow, wafting the smell of celebratory incense in the air, declaring the kings greatness (v. 14).
We spread the aroma of Christ in two ways. First, through our words: telling others about the One who is beautiful. Second, through our lives: doing deeds of Christlike sacrifice (Eph. 5:12). While not everyone will appreciate the divine fragrance we share, it will bring life to many.
Rita Snowden caught a scent and was driven to seek its source. As we follow Jesus we too become permeated with His fragrance, and we carry His aroma into the streets through our words and deeds.
Lord Jesus, make us carriers and communicators of Your beauty to the people in our homes, offices, and neighborhoods.
We are the aroma of Christ to others.
When a Roman general won a significant victory, he would be granted the honor of a triumphal parade in the streets of Rome. Citizens of Rome would line the streets and shout words of praise. Pagan temples would offer up fragrant incense that flooded the parade with sweet-smelling aromas in honor of the event. Paul uses this imagery to stunningly illustrate the spiritual victory of Christ in securing our redemption. Having won the victory over sin and death, Jesus is our triumphant leader. The spiritual aroma of Christ is sensed by the spiritual condition of those we encounter. For those who are to be saved, new life in Christ carries spiritual vitality. But for those who reject Gods light, the aroma is objectionable.
What are some ways you can spread the aroma of Christ to others?

You Should Spend the Day Hustling |
You love a day off, but you aren't really one to partake in rest and relaxation. You prefer to work on your own thing. You are a person with many dreams and goals. The only problem is, you just don't have enough time to get to all of them.
You relish the opportunity to get your side hustle on, and you never waste time in going after what you want. In fact, you may work harder on your days off than your days on. But at the end of those days, you feel extra refreshed! |
That's me exactly. I work my butt off on my days off, but it helps me to relax and forget about the work-a-day world.

Doing a “road trip” of sorts this weekend. Our We The People team did not win state this year, so the four faculty advisors are headed to D.C. to watch some of the other top national teams and see if we can pick up anything useful.
