In chapter 5 of his letter to the Galatians, Paul describes the Fruits of the Spirit, which are gifts from God that make us better people. Now Nim thinks he can make some improvements.
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
Nim: I've been thinking about the Fruits of the Spirit Con talked about yesterday. God could really take it up a notch if he used some fusion.
Abby: God doesn't need any of your advice!

Abby: Nim, you don't understan...
Nim: Something like Fruit-Of-The-Spirit-Mango-Blast!

Jerry: Don't do that. Matthew 6 instructs us not to worry about clothes. After all, flowers don't worry about how they look. And not even Solomon in all his splendor looked as good as they do.
