On days like this, I so don't want to be FORD tough. On days like this, I so don't want to even think about being fixed or repaired daily. Just give me a root beer, a chili dog, and some football or even the Blackhawks and I'll be okay. Let me watch The Good, the Bad and the Ugly or even some cool Jackie Chan flick, (I'd even go for Bulletproof Monk right now) and just peal me off the couch at the end of the day. That'd be so great..right?
I mean, I try. I try hard. I do my best.
And then I think of these words:
There is do or do not, there is no try.
Thank. You. Yoda.

Now, this is where you might disagree with me, and feel free to, but just listen anyway:
Jesus is the way to be repaired. Jesus says that if we want to be repaired daily, we need to follow him. What does this look like?
"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever looses his life for me and for the gospel will save it." Mark 8:34-35
Duuuuuuuuuddde... that's some tough stuff.
So, do you really want to be repaired daily? It's a daily commitment to do this. There is do or do not, there is no try. Do you want to be repaired daily and made closer to God in the process?
What do you think it looks like to do this daily?
