APRIL CELEBRATIONS
Changing Tastes
~By Steve Higginbotham
Have you ever heard anyone complain about airline food? I’m sure many of you have, but the airlines aren ’t
necessarily to blame. Did you know that our tastes change depending upon our altitude? That’s right. Food that you may enjoy eating in your favorite restaurant, if served on an airplane at 35,000 feet,
would not taste the same. This is due to a decreased sense of smell and a reduction in taste bud sensitivity humans experience at that altitude.
When I learned this truth, I couldn’t help but reflect upon how the same
thing happens to us within the spiritual realm. When we embark on a quest to
be more and more like Jesus, we sometimes find ourselves in “thin air.”
As we pursue godliness, we’ll find ourselves reaching new heights of spiritual maturity, and consequently, we will no longer have a “taste” for many of the things we once found
enjoyable. The nearer we are to God, the things of earth will have
less and less appeal.
My prayer is that we will all reach spiritual heights that will cause our
“tastes” to change.

God’s Answers to Prayers
By Beth Fisher
Dear Lord, help me understand,
as I kneel to pray,
That You, indeed, will answer it,
though there are several ways.
The first, of course, is obvious,
the one we most like to receive.
If everyone got a “yes” to their prayers,
it would be easy to believe.
But, Father, there are two more ways
You may handle my appeal.
So, please don’t let Your denial
dampen my spiritual zeal.
For You alone can see beyond
the benefits I ask for,
So help me take “no” for an answer,
when You decide to slam the door.
And don’t let me forget the third way
You may answer my request,
Because You know exactly the time
that it would benefit me best.
You see, the hardest answer of them all,
develops true virtue —
For we develop patience, Lord,
when we learn to wait on You.
