Jelly Beans
I think sin might be like jelly beans.
You keep eating them because every 5th one is so good you just downright enjoy it. Then, of course, the next one is brussel sprouts so you vow to leave the bag alone, but the following three are blueberry cotton candy so you give the enticing colorful bag another chance. You’re leery of the spotted ones (the “big” sins), but when you’re not paying attention, your hand snags one and you fuel an endless cycle of making resolutions and getting stomach aches.
And maybe God’s ways are like Peanut m&m’s– my absolutely favorite.
Every one is just as good as the one before; you never get tired of them; and they even have protein.
Was this merely an attempt to justify my favorite candy? Possibly. And I’m definitely okay with it.
