Different Ways to get to the Finish Line

Different Ways to the
Finish Line

We all run on the same track - planet earth - but we all have different life paths on our way to the finish line. We come out of the starting gate of life the same... but the way we travel is unique. Some of us ride the standard horse - school - games - jobs - family - hobbies - all normal, pretty typical. Then we find someone doing things a bit different, and we watch and wonder... how on God's Green Earth? Be it the artist, the activist, the one SO Passionate about something they are totally consumed with the goal, the guy down the block who loves model trains, to the mechanic that can fix anything. We all have a skill set, we all have a destiny to fulfill, we all will somehow get to the the Finish Line of our  life... and we all will not ride the same beast of burden to get us there, in fact some of us may just crawl. Don't forget to smile while you are on the track, stay out of the trainwrecks that may happen, if you can, help someone in need if it is within your power to do so, share a laugh, shed a tear, enjoy all the blessings God bestows upon you and cross your finish line knowing you have run your race well.

Light the Sky

Light the Sky

The sky was ablaze with the power only the energy that lighting can create. With the world in turmoil, and the rumors of war, threats of attacks, and just the destruction of nations within themselves. We must wonder, ponder, question... is this the beginning or World War Three, is the end of the world and the biblical signs of the return of Christ...  I thought these things last night as the sky was alight... yes I was waiting for the Trumpet to Sound, yes I was... however it didn't happen and another day dawned with possiblities and uncertainites. The one good thing about sitting outside in the coolness of the late night, watching Gods Light Show, it brought me once again closer to the power and majesty of God and reminded me that He is still in control.  A comforting feeling in such uncertain times. Yeah God!!!!   I am still waiting for the Trumpet to Sound any day or night, but I shall also continue to live with the knowledge that he cares for his own and is still waiting for more to get thier name of the pages of the Book of Life.
