FLOWER OR WEED

This time of year when I'm out in the yard and things a sprouting up, it is hard to tell whether they are flowers or weeds. Sometimes their both. For example:

Its, pretty, edible and fun to shoot the top off, but most people call it a weed rather than a flower. It's a matter of opinion I guess. It's unfortunate, but truth is that way in our day and time. It's relevant, meaning people can determine their own truth. Or is it Absolute, meaning their is one Truth that presides over everything. I'm imperfect and I'd rather trust in a TRUTH from a perfect source: God's Word. It is truth for every situation, crisis, struggle and test. The Word is True and the promises in it or true too. God Loves you. His Son died for you. He will never leave you or forsake you. Seems more like a flower to me and it sure is beautiful.

Über???

Everything seems to be Über these days. Not sure what it means. I guess it is German. What is interesting is that I have heard it a ton in the last few weeks. In conversations, on TV and radio. I wonder if the people saying it know what it means. I ask that because I searched Websters and they don't have a record for the word. Which brings me to my point. How often do we act or think in ways that contradict truth, but we don't know it? I mean we believe something, so that makes it true..right? Not really. That makes truth relative and that is not the truth we profess as Christians. Truth lies in God and his word, not in what we want or wish it to be. Paul told Timothy to do his best to present himself to God as one approved, who has no need to be ashamed, who correctly handles the word of truth. Sounds like good advice for us too. I'd say it is Über important.
