Travis

There are so many things I intend to do and all of these things bring so much joy, but my good intentions often go undone. This trait often leaves me filled with regret because I knew I wanted to accomplish a task but just got too busy.

Let me illustrate.

Yesterday I was talking with my friend Mack Larry. He was preparing to teach the Romania team about evangelism and I was cleaning up a little when, to my horror, I ran across a Starbucks box. I knew this box and I knew that inside this box was a delicious chocolate cupcake that I was given for my birthday four days earlier. I remember receiving the cupcake and feeling so special. It was in a cute little box, which made me feel like I had just found treasure! I was filled with anticipation, that glorious moment when I would open the box in private and devour the gift. Instead, life got busy and I moved on and the intention to eat the cupcake was left as only a good intention.

I know there is a deep spiritual truth in this story.

Alas, I will leave the meaning of the Parable of the Stale Cupcake up to you.
