Some things are too broken to fix for any person except God. There is no person so broken that he cannot fix and fix for eternity. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story I was afraid to say anything but eventually I said, “What in the world do you mean?” She looked at me with those giggly dancing eyes and said, “You are always offering to fix something with your hammer. Why don't you offer to give them your hammer so that they can fix Washington?” Was she serious? Or, was she setting me up for something? Staring at me she finally broke down into hilarious laughter. “How better could they fix Washington than using your hammer?” It does not happen often, but I wholeheartedly agreed with what she was saying. If Washington is broken, and I am not sure what that means, perhaps they could fix it with my hammer by smashing everything in Washington. My hammer is a good tool for that kind of work. I cannot tell you how many things I have smashed unintentionally with my hammer. We enjoyed a hearty laugh on that one. I never knew my wife to be politically minded like this. However, she had it. Then I said, “Why don't you run for some political office? I'll let you borrow my hammer.” We laughed some more and I got to thinking. How would Washington change if my wife was elected to some office and borrowed my hammer? She surely would get things done, I am sure. Her “fix-it” ability along with my hammer would go a long way in fixing Washington. As I thought of that I was reminded of what King Solomon said, “The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right” (Proverbs 21:8). Some things are too broken to fix for any person except God. There is no person so broken that he cannot fix and fix for eternity. So, Mr. Politician Fix-It, you can use my hammer at any time if you want to. Tweet
