The Daily Ricky

One of the biggest lies that the enemy uses is, Christians can’t have fun,

Now depending on your definition of fun, your views might be biased. I was saved at age 14 but, I lived enough life, for an 18 year old.

It does not matter what your definition, this was funny!

I was reminded of this today, when I talked with a friend I have known since 1978.

One day, a friend or two of mine from Lakewood, Colorado went to see this person and his newly married bride.

The lived in Greely Colorado in a basement apartment while going to college.
My friend from Lakewood suggested, when we got to the apartment’ if he answer the door we would jump him.

We all three agreed, jump on the male if he opens the door.

When we got there, my friend knocked on the door. The male answered the door, we all four toppled into the living room.

You would have thought we were enemies, heads were jarred, fist and elbows were flying.

The man from Greely somehow managed to get up. We jumped on him again, only this time we knocked their wall to the bedroom completely down.

When it came down, the brides eyes went flaming red! She is only 5ft tall but, let me tell you that day; we were all afraid!

Needless to say, we were back the next day, putting up a wall and painting,

I look back on it now and know it was young men using no wisdom but, I must confess; it was a blast and I wish I could do it again!

I was a Christian, so are my friends , we were just letting off some male bravado!

I must say, it was one of the best times of my life!

I know my sense of fun probably is not yours, it’s just when I’m around them my animal instincts take over.

If you are a Christian, your heart changes and your definition of fun changes. I’m not going to lie, I love to party and I loved certain things but, I have no desire to be that way no longer.

I can have fun doing other things that I know are wholesome and clean and they do not have tearing down walls as one of them.

Lord, show us Your definition of fun and help us to enjoy this new life You have given to us. Amen!!!!
