Getting What's Coming to Ya

The classic black-and-white ganster movie.

Particularly starring Edward G. Robinson. Man, the best ever.

There was this recurring line: "I want what's coming to me."

The other person ominously promises: "Yeah, you'll get what's coming to ya."

The first guy is expecting a payoff or something.

But he always gets whacked.

So, sometimes getting what's coming to ya isn't that grand.

Here's an example. It's 15 April, TAX DAY. I just hit the send button.

I didn't really want what I had coming to me.

But I got what was coming to me. POW!!! BLAM!!! SHOT DEAD!!!

So, when I think about taxes or anything else, really, I think I've landed on something.

I'd like not to get what's coming to me.

I'd like to get something better. Something I didn't deserve.

Where do I get some of that?

Good news is that there is some of this out there--It's called grace.

And God's sending some of it your way.
