Heavenly Candy

Today, as I begin my novice journey into blogging, I think it'd be best to stick to a subject that I'm comfortable with. Such a topical subject can only start from one point: Skittles. Yes. Skittles. But, I'm not going to just talk about how good they are. Nope. Anyone can do that. What I want to try and convince everyone is that Skittles are the Lord's chosen candy. They are. Trust me.

I've convinced my Sunday school kids here at City Church that God has hand picked these edible delights. I mean, why else would they be colored with the rainbows colors? It's like the good Lord is saying, "this is my promise to you that these treats will be the best you've ever had." And how could anyone argue? I even converted a lovely little seven year old, from peanut M&M's, to the chosen delectable awesomeness of Skittles. I've even convinced the children that these are not just great tasting bits of candy, but blessings from the almighty! During a game show style quiz the kids at the end of the session, I even place them in their little cupped hands and repeat, "Bless you my children, with tasty blessings." 

After converting them in such a convincing fashion, I even have them coming up to me before service now asking if they'll be receiving blessings this day, for verses, questions, participation and anything else we ask of them. Which I most assuredly reply, "Of course. They are His promised candy. He wouldn't have given man the wisdom to make them if He didn't plan on rewarding you with them for keeping His word, would He?" 

Ah yes, Skittles. His promised candy. The rainbow colored delicacy from the heavens, with His promise of satisfaction. Taste the chosen rainbow.
