"Whats with the coffin?" "Oh its just waiting for somebody!!!" Ya got a have a morbid sense of humor. Some folks might get kind of touchy, though. Next you'll be makin a tombstone. Thats a good idea. A RR project. Make a tombstone for the burial of our old man. Bury the flesh! Heck dig a hole and have everyone put their sins and nasty old nature in the coffin and then bury it. Put up the tombstone with their names on it and whenever they get out of line you could point to it to remind them where that stuff goes. Rom 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. (NKJ) thanks for the idea, Bob Simons For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
