Overview of Major Future Events

the road less traveled

today just a day away from who knows what? every day full of it's own cares,it's own disappointments, it's own blessings,none to behold until that day comes. The road less traveled is where i want to be,at least the road less traveled by me.

Things look different now

I can't help but notice how different things look than they did a few years back! I mean really ,did I ever think my Grand children may never know the beautiful words to"amazing grace" or "nothing but the blood of Jesus"? What about the course "turn your eyes upon Jesus"or " Oh how I love Jesus"? We are admonished to take our eyes off the prize this world offers and look to the prize of the higher calling of Jesus.We can keep seeking the thrills of life on this earth, the temporary fixes, or we can look to the author and finisher of our faith. Did I , did you ,ever think there would be a time in yours and my life when our children would be afraid to speak out publicly for the cause of Christ? When I gave my heart to Christ I was 6 years old and was so excited about His love for me ,and the story of His second coming ,that I had a picture of the rapture of the church and carried it around to tell other children about salvation. Did I ever think there would be a time I would see christians afraid or ashamed to say they were christian? This world has twisted our minds to think only of the here and now, so we can't possibly be prepared for our eternity. Turn your eyes upon Jesus,look full in His wonderful face ,and the things of earth will grow strangely dim ,in the light of His glory and grace. "Things " certainly do look different than they use to,but not my Jesus!! No,HE just looks better and better to me!

weary

Do you ever just wAKE UP SOME MORNINGS STILL CONNECTED TO THOUGHTS OF YESTERDAYS BUSINESS?Just wishing you could grab the thoughts by the throat,sling them around a few times ,throw them high into "outof sight"? Do you ever just wish for once a subject could be closed? Peace would come and wash away the reality?Do you think for one moment you just might be able to crumple those thoughts into tightly wadded up matter and say "it doesn't matter?"I really can't change this by thinking of it,trying to figure it out,becoming prisoner to it's control of my every moment! some thoughts take such a grip that the body begins to wither beneath the load,the soul begins to slide into obscurity,the heart!!!!! becomes faint ,and a shell of your person squints it's eyes,,only to close them back again ,looking for something to have changed. You know ,but can't grasp truth.You invite peace,but the storm blinds your invitation. Hold on, let go,be still,take no thought, focus,what to do?? But............ a still small whisper, almost silent but viable,speaks ,one more time,"I am!! Iam and will always be with you .I will not leave you to be drowned in this overwhelming time of your shallow breathing.I can not leave you like this!!! He whispers again, I love you too much to let this be your end.
