NeverNever-HardlyEver Land
Never Never Hardly Everland (NNHELand) is a magical land where WE are all ok, and THEY are not.
In NNHELand, we live by our three core Statements of denial.
At least I never ... (insert bad behavior here)
I am not as bad as... (so-and-so)
I’m sorry BUT... (insert here rationale making your apology in reality unapologetic)
In NNHELand, we can even reference our Bibles to feel better about ourselves.
For example..
- Well, at least I never tried to 'give away' my wife like Abraham.
- Well, at least I never was 'saved by a prostitute'.
- At least I get along with my neighbors better than Samson did.
- Well, I know I married better than Ahab, and less than Solomon.
More 'I ain't so bad after all' pick-me-ups can be found by attending church, by rubbing elbows with real-life folk—the saints and the 'aints, who again are... obviously not as good as you.
- I never have drooled into a dish at a church potluck. (I have seen this happen)
- I know the difference between figurative and literal, unlike some.
- I do NOT think out loud.. most of the time
We all know Neverland is fictional and there is no Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, or Captain Hook, but also it is better to realize NNHELand is a land of make believe as in reality we are all sinners saved by Grace.
No need to hide out in NNHELand as we are all sinners BUT.. saved by God's Grace. Instead, be faithful in the big and little ways in your life so God can bless and use you in ways beyond your dreams...
Unless… you believe you are called to build an ark. That one has been done.
Blessings
