2 things today.
1. this sentence caught my attention. I tend to fall into the false thinking that if I keep it in my head and don't say it.....that's good. But this is taking it a step farther. It says that my thoughts need to be wholesome and uplifting. Sheesh! that can be a real challenge. How do I get the gunk out of my mind? How can I even approach this mindset? Perhaps its more time dedicated to Christ. More time with him will automatically change my thoughts and perception of what's around me.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
2. Sometimes I think about how the world will end. How will it look? Will it be like the illustrated coloring books, showing Christ coming down on a rainbow? Or will it looks more like a meteor crash into the earth? We (people) tend to try to separate Faith and Science. If you believe in one, the other is just wrong. I tend to believe there is a middle ground. If I think about an all knowing/all creating/supreme being in the universe responsible for EVERYTHING.....he would also be smart enough to construct his creation with rules. These rules are what we think of as science. What can be tracked, what can be proved, what are the building blocks? I think the end could come in a flavor that traditionalists think of on the "science" side of the argument.
Whoa! got off in the weeds today.
sorry.
how is work going? I'm praying for you.

good takes--yes I agree my exterior appears much cleaner to people than the thoughts that go through my mind. but whether I say them or not it is just as clear to him who I am inside and out.

this one just reminds me that it is important to be prepared. it is also important not to wait to share with others especially those I love who may not know Jesus. the end of this earth could be at the end of this sentence.
work is going ok since I've been on vacation! its ok, just change and some uncertainty about the future but I think the mood is better than I expected given the news. i'm hanging in as well but I do appreciate the prayers and thoughts.
