It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...

Our Daily Bread
How many Superman TV shows or movies have you watched and heard those phrases?  They are particularly exciting the first time someone sees him!

What do people say about us when they see us for the first time?  It's a bird?  It's a plane?  It's a !  We have heard many sermons about what should go in the blank.  Phrases like "loving friend" or "trusted confident" or "humble servant" come to mind.  Phrases like "super Christian" should be avoided so we don't get too full of ourselves!  Let others see Christ in you.  That is our mission!

Lord, you are much more than our simple minds can understand.  Please help us listen and show others your love and mercy!

This song is kind of odd to me, but I happened to listen to the lyrics again the other day.  They haunted me for the rest of the day as I was whining about something to God (again).  How about you?  Do they speak to you in some way?

"This Is The Stuff"
sung by Francesca Battistelli

I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please 'cause I can't find my phone

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this the stuff You use

45 in a 35 sirens and fines
While I'm running behind
Whoa ho ho

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess,
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this the stuff You use

So break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world
Whoa ho ho ho

Oooooh This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff
Someone save me
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this the stuff You use

Whoa whoa ho ho
This is the stuff You use.
