To get the fullness out of your cereal-eating experience, you need to be a man or woman of quick action. If you don’t act in the short window supplied after the milk touches the flakes, the soggy soupy saucy stuff follows.

But, like cereal, there is a window of time when grace for action is being supplied. Let’s learn, as the Body of Christ, to take advantage of that window and not be the Soggy Cereal Man.
