Dear Christian, let us not be deceived concerning our salvation and where we shall spend eternity. The truth is we will either enter into God’s eternal kingdom to spend eternity with Jesus Christ, Who took upon Himself the wrath of God for all who would come to Him, or we shall perish under the torments of hellfire where God’s justice will be poured out upon those who reject Him.
When our church first started having in-person services again after COVID began, I would stand in the hallway as our church members entered the building for Sunday service. My job was simple: drop a squirt of hand sanitizer into outstretched hands. I saw hands hardened by callouses and hands spotted with age. I saw tiny fingers on soft baby hands, and I saw scars, wrinkles, freckles, and the various shades of skin that God has made. Every open hand that was offered up to me belonged to someone who saw a dollop of hand sanitizer as a minuscule price to pay for the chance to sit in our building, to look into the faces of our family eternal, to worship together.
Swoosh! November blew in to let us have a taste of exhilarating crispness. Yards are being covered by cold-shy leaves of varying colors, and every step is taken outside results in rustling and crunching. Ahh, fall is fabulous!
Maybe not lately, but when I was much younger, not whipper snapper age but teen angst years for sure, it seemed a way to make friends included fighting. Sometimes verbal and sometimes physical.
I can hardly believe that I am bringing light to National Fast-Food Day on Nov. 16. But, with the rise of diabetes and obesity in the U.S., is this a day that we should celebrate? I’ve pondered this notion, and I’ve decided that it is OK to celebrate this day.
