"CUSTOMIZING COSTUMES. CUZ-TO-ME It'll COST-U-ME If we don't!"

"CUSTOMIZING COSTUMES. CUZ-TO-ME It'll COST-U-ME If we don't!" What? I was thinking how It is so much easier to settle back into what you are accustomed to even when you know it's just not good for you. Anymore. Or, never was. Human nature. Oh, indeed, it is a costume I have worn! But, we need not just settle. Time to throw out the plastic costume of bad habits so easily worn. Time to customize your new costume. Oh it's going to be tough. And, you may sweat bullets from doing the right thing when no one's looking but God. But, at least no sweaty plastic mask of hidden shame. If you gotta have secrets, let them be heroic not horrific. I've grown accustomed to God being in my whole life cus-to-me? It COST-U-ME to not. Costumes are more uncomfortable than being real. Masking our pain may seem easier but customizing our costume by throwing out the plastic sweaty mask gives you a heroic countenance from God. A realness. Authenticity. And, that's all the costume you need. Oh. And, the photograph? It is a mask on a wall in a bathroom at a restaurant in St. Augustine last year when we went up for the day to visit our daughter at Flagler College. Signed, She's Throwing It Out There
