LIFE IS FULL OF CONTRASTS. THE STRONG AND THE WEAK. GOOD AND EVILEveryday another bunch of letters arrive begging for money. I will look them over and choose just one. This is not easy as all of them are good causes and how can I who have so much ignore the needs of others.
A lot of people ignore their need of God and think they are doing quite well thank you very much! Christians do not seem to be any better or any happier and church is boring so who needs to be it? In the Old Testament they were to choose life or death; now that seems like an easy choice. For years the choice has been heaven or hell and the easiest thing is to believe there is neither. I was and still am drawn by the amazing love of God which is unconditional and full of grace.
Fear can be a healthy motivator when used to make healthy choices. Real Christians are not saints but trying to live an authentic life of transforming freedom and grace. Yes, we are living our faith as best as we can and thankful that we are not alone spiritually or physically.
We were discussing heaven or hell at home group and it is not an easy topic for anyone. Dad stayed home to watch the hockey game. He had been up early to drive Ava to an ultra sound appointment at St. Pauls Hospital. The drive in was a night mare of accidents. After he got home he picked up Madie {90} and brought her here for lunch. She was a dear friend of his mother and dads. I think he made a good choice to stay home.
The choices we make our often based on what we believe to be right.

Who says we need this God person you speak of? And who says that the fear of hell is a great way to get people to behave? Not me, that is who! Sure there can be nice happy religious people, hmmm, let me get back on that, maybe you might be the only one out there. And you sure do have busy lives for old people. I came home from work early to do my school work, had it done before 9:30. That was it, oh, and Randy has come home for 2 days. I think he looks different and even sounds different. I guess I will get use to him.
