Cakes?

1 Pet. 1:3,4

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you"

We started out talking about what a "living hope" is as opposed to a hope which does not materialize. Beth may hope for a horse ( which may never come to be) , but this is a hope which will come to fruition because it is living.

The inheritance turned into quite an interesting discussion and I have been threatened by a certain someone not to relate all of the details. In any case, it started out with a promised cake and ended up with the cake in a dorm room. Dad got onto the cake analogy to explain "incorruptible, undefiled, and reserved" to Beth. It was a forgotten and rotted cake for "corrupted", a defiled cake by being left outside, a "faded away" cake when someone ate it, and a "reserved" cake when it was saved for Anne.

If this makes no sense, don't blame me! Ask your brother, or your dad. Mom
