I think they did a wonderful thing to the human race by creating 
something as delicious as ice cream. Even to this day, I can't name all 
of the different flavors of ice cream. 

My goal in life is to find all the different flavors of ice cream and
sample each one for the world's record. 

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage brought me a very nice bowl of
ice cream. “Here you are, I hope this is enough ice cream for tonight.” 


I just smiled at her because I never think beyond the ice cream I'm
eating at the time. I refuse to compromise that marvelous experience of 
eating ice cream by thinking of other things. 

Then my wife said something rather strange. “Do you know,” she said
rather seriously, “that there is no ice cream in heaven?” 

I chuckled as I ate another spoonful of ice cream. I looked at her and
said, “That's why I'm trying to eat as much ice cream as I can now. I 
want to get my share of ice cream while I still have the opportunity.” 

While eating that ice cream I remembered a verse in the Bible. It caused
me to think about some of my habits. 

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh 
reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit 
reap life everlasting” (Galatians 6:7-8). 

Sometimes I want what I want when I want it. Usually, I don't give much
thought to consequences. 

I need to sharpen my focus on my spiritual life and trust God to lead me
everyday.
