Why Purple Ink Splotch?

     Why Purple Ink Splotch? Was a question that I got from one of the men who attends our church. There is a reason behind the name believe it or not. (Isn't there always?)
     I named it this because I see us all as splotches on the page of history. Some of us are bigger splotches than others and some of us have barely made an impact yet so our splotch is hardly formed.
     What is a splotch? Is it perfectly symmetrical? No, and just like splotches aren't perfect so we also aren't perfect. We all make our mistakes but God chooses to use us anyway.
    Each splotch is important because in the end we all contribute to the picture the master artist is making. He is writing his story in each of our splotches and making something beautiful out of all of it that we will be able to look back on and admire as his work of art, his beautiful plan.
     In a sense our splotches have already been set as to where they will go and the purpose that they have to the completed project but we are still being filled in and still being worked till our lives come to a close. When they do our splotch remains behind for the next generations to build upon.
     Why purple? Well I like the color purple and ink splotch seemed too plain so the purple part really doesn't have that much thought behind it. It just gives the name a little more pizazz.
      The master historian is drawing the picture of history and your life is just a splotch on his page. And so with that I am just an ink splotch (perhaps i'm one of the purple ones) on God's page and I can't wait to see what the picture looks like in the end.
