Yesterday I heard an awesome analogy that spoke deep to my heart. Life is like Tetris.

One member of my congregation got up during the services and shared some very insightful comments about how when life is difficult we feel pressures akin to a lot of those pesky geometric pieces piling up. The savage, pseudo-Siberian music in our heads gets louder and more intense. Of course, all that is alleviated if we properly place the pieces we are given.

Evidently he has been recently blessed with the piece he needed to clear out some of the junk in his life. From there, he has made the necessary changes to reduce the lines in his life and get the incoming pieces to go where they need to go for himself and his family.

Awesome.
