Orange You Glad I Didn't Say. . .

The banana is what I like to call the universal fruit. I mean seriously name one other fruit that has this many uses. Bananas can be put in cereal, on a sandwich, in pudding, made into bread, frozen into a chocolaty treat, dipped in peanut butter, and even put to rest muscle cramps. Yea, I am pretty sure I would rather not eat cantaloupe bread, make a peanut butter and orange sandwich, and eat a frozen chocolate covered watermelon. It seems like the banana has it going on. Should we go ahead update our medical books to "A banana a day keeps the doctor away?" Maybe. Let's find out.
Have you ever looked at the shape of a banana? I mean really looked at it, turned it sideways, upside down, and backwards to see all dimensions of this mega fruit? I'm only asking because well, I have. A banana at different angles resembles a moon, rainbow, smile, telephone, mountain, bridge and much more. Remember when you were a little kid and you would rather play with the kitchen pots and pans than your $150 doll house? Have you ever wondered why? It's because of the ability to use your imagination and turn the pot into whatever you want! It could be a drum, a hat, or a kettle filled with witches brew! It is the transformation of the pot that kept you so interested and intrigued after hours of continuous, loud, and annoying pot banging.
So, why would I think that a banana is the secret to life? Because of its ability to metemorphosize into so many things.
I believe a huge part of our population has a beef with change and transforming as the world turns. I personally could live without change sometimes. I like to stay at ease in my comfort zone.  But God doesn't call us to sit around and be comfortable does he? NO! To be a strong faithful christian we must take a step toward the unknown, take risks, and adapt! In Romans 12:2 the bible says:

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

 I have been struggling with the whole idea of growing up lately. It seriously freaks-me-out! In a year and a half I will be a college graduate aka and adult! I am not sure if I am prepared to deal with that! But, you don't see a banana jumping out of its peel at the thought of being put into a recipe for bread. However, you do taste the the richness that is created as a product of this change. Mhhmmmm Mhhmmmm!
 So, is the issue at hand transformation? Am I seeking to stay close to a God in an evolving world while I refuse to move?
So maybe we should all go bananas. . .

Are bananas the secret to life?
