Being a passionate lover of metaphor, here's a light-hearted one that came to me while on some bus departing from Kildonan Place with someone very dear to me, who, sticking with the food-names, will be called Omlette.
Anyway, I digress.
We all know what, "icing on the cake" means. It means that the cake is complete, whole, finished, not left in wanting, but that something more has been added to it to make it EVEN better.
Our relationship with God needs to be like that cake. Of course, our relationship with God is never 'finished' (in the sense that there's no more room from growth), but we need to be content with God, to truly agree with Paul when he says "to live is Christ and to die is gain". That's the cake.
Then there's the temporal good stuff of life, let's use the example of a relationship. A relationship is the icing on the cake. It's not necessary for its wholeness, but it definitely makes it considerably sweeter.

I'm a fan of your new non-emo blog, although I wouldn't mind the link for your "emo" blog. You should make a blog about the exploading fire hydrant, providing that's what you are into.
I love your blog--so Rob Bellesque. I couldn't tell where you ended and he began! Keep writing.
Omlette: hahahaha, you bet that's what I'm into. You rock. Uh-oh, now anyone who reads it will know that you're omlette! Oh-no!!! And if you can track down the emo-blog be my guest, but i really wouldn't recommend it. ANd there's no way you're getting it from me :P
Mom: thanks, that's kinda the goal. But how did you find this anyway?
