Extreme is "in" within our culture today - extreme sports and more. AND if you're an Italiano, as I am, you're "extreme" anything - the emotional, the melo-dramatic, and whatever else descriptive we Italians take with good humor and teasing.
This week's news is the "extreme search" now going on in Aruba to dig up any evidence of a two-year-old unsolved criminal investigation. But I know of an "xtreme search" going on daily by the Chief of all investigators, God Himself. He seearches the minds and hearts of us all - He knows and good and the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. Nothing is hidden from Him.
You may think it's a negative, but think again. It's a positive. I love a God who knows me so well, who understands my motives, my dreams, my wishes, my every internal crisis - and knows how to solve any problem. He is the Extreme Searcher and He is GOOD at what He does.....
Lord, let your extreme searchlight shine on us today. Remove the bad, replace it with the good - thanks for KNOWING us as no human being ever will - and accepting us "just as we are," while wanting to change us daily into Your likeness and grace. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
If you've prayed that prayer along with me, be assured you will have a wonderful, choco-rich, life-changing, extreme day. AND if you're searching for some extreme choco dessert, be sure to check out the Virtual Chocolate Shop at Peggie's Place - you're in for a treat!
