Let’s confess our sins to one another and pray for one another. No one grows in isolation. We grow in safe community. Sadly, such an experience is rare in our churches. It should be common among us gospel people. It should be our lifestyle. We should be obvious, even scandalous, as friends of sinners. But so often, someone must break the ice. I see no revival in our future without a new culture of confession. Personally, I have found a good way to measure my own honesty is the level of my embarrassment. If I’m not embarrassed by my confession, I’m still holding out. But it is freeing to come clean with a brother or sister and receive the ministry of prayer (James 5:16).

~ + ~ Watermelons ~ + ~
 
A little boy stopped to watch a farmer loading watermelons to take to market.
 
“Say, mister, how much are your watermelons?” Inquired the boy.
 
“A dollar to $2 a piece, depending on the size,” replied the farmer.
 
“I sure would like to have one of those watermelons,” the boy said wistfully, “but I only have a dime.”
 
“Well, son, I’ll tell you what I’ll do.  See that itty-bitty watermelon right over there on that vine?  I’ll sell that one to you for a dime.”
 
“It’s a deal!” exclaimed the boy as he handed the farmer his dime.
 
As the boy turned and started walking away, the farmer called out to him, “Say, son, aren’t you going to take your watermelon with you?”
 
“No,” replied the boy, “I’ll be back in 3 weeks to get it.”

~ + ~ Sauerkraut and Franks ~ + ~
 
One afternoon, I sat down to eat some sauerkraut and franks. 

 My son Colin, who is six, started eating from my plate,
saying, “Momma, how about if I eat the hot dogs,
and you eat the hay?”

When the Brooks family moved into their new house, a visiting
relative asked five-year-old Alex how he liked the new place.

"It's terrific," he said. "I have my own room, Mike has his own
room, and Susie has her own room. But poor mom is still in with
dad."
