A Funnel or A Sponge?
By Jody Noland“It’s not about you.” So begins The Purpose Driven Life, and truer words were never spoken. Most of us nod our heads in agreement with that thought, but find living like we believe it a much different matter. I certainly do.
Recently, I looked at two simple kitchen tools, a funnel and a sponge, and realized that they were great metaphors for this tension.
A funnel provides a means of transfer.
A sponge soaks things up.
Here’s the question I’ve been asking myself of late. "Am I living like a funnel or a sponge?"
