Quite the kafaffle

Someone asked me this weekend what that word meant. I learned the term from my roommate and it has become part of my own vocabulary.

I think the meaning is self-explanatory, and pretty close to being onomatopoeic.

Still, here’s an example of it’s use in context:

“I woke up this morning, instantly realized that I’d overslept, and now had only 3 minutes before I had to be at work. Unfortunately, I also realized at about the same time that I had left my bathroom faucet on all night (with the sink plugged), and had a major flood in my apartment. I reached for my phone to call my building manager and my boss, but my cell battery was dead and my charger was ruined in the flood. This was turning into a major kafaffle.”

Note 1: The above narrative is not based on actual events. 

Note 2: I spell it “ka FA ffle” because that’s how I say it. This is a spelling variant I have decided that I am ok with. The dictionary spells it ka FU ffle.

Pleese rememmber tu allways youse speling veryasions responsiply. Thangx.

Onward.

As I’ve stated before on this blog, according to the Bible, salvation is not a reward for good people but a gift for sinners: Romans 5:8 “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Now add to that another truth: Christianity is not a crutch for the weak – it’s a stretcher. No, actually, it’s an entire life support system. Earlier in Romans 5, it says, “For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.”

That pretty much goes against everything this “be-independent-pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps” world will  tell you. But in truth, we are all weak. We are all helpless. We are all need the Savior.

Will you trust in him today?
