W...O....W...I am glad I am covered by the blood of Jesus

A friend of mine has a daughter who was going to be in a play called "The Glory and The Fire". So, I thought, well that sounds very interesting. The premise of the play was giving different scenarios where people either choose to live their life for Jesus or against Jesus. Well, in this play it showed the devil (with this horribly booming voice and insane strobe lights), and well he was pretty scared. When they first showed the devil, Derek climbed in my life and cried, " Too scary!". And, well yeah, he creeped me out and I'm an adult. So I just held my young son in my lap while we watched it, and he was ok after I explained that these people really weren't dying, and that guy really wasn't the devil. While the kid behind me cried, " I can't do this", and his parents told him to shut up. Kids should be able to express their feelings, but that's a whole different blog. Back to this one. There were many examples given: a girl who commits suicide, a bunch of thugs, a mother too involved in her work, a star too full of himself with no room for God. Then there were the people who went to heaven: the daughter of the too busy mom, the family who refused to renounce God, and the interviewer of the man too full of himself. This was a scary and sometimes funny look at the reality of a life without God, and even worse, a death without God. Live your life for God while you're here on earth. Get to know God through prayer and reading His Word. Let others know about God and His unfailing love. Because, people, once you die, that's it. If you're name isn't in that book of life, you don't get heaven, you get hell, plain and simple. Once you draw that last breath, you don't get to go back and decide that you want to believe in God. And dont let Satan fool you. There is a heaven, and there is a hell. And satan wants nothing more than to drag us down there with him. But when we are covered by the blood, he can't get near us. Think about that. There are those events in life that just transform you...and tonight was one of those nights.

GOSSIP

I'm going to make this short and sweet...you people are the reason I am narcissistic. When you constantly look at me and talk about me, this is why I have such a big head. I must always be on your mind or you wouldn't feel the need to let my name leave your lips all the time. It's a great compliment, but really, you can stop now. Find something else to talk about.  

Proverbs 16:28
Troublemakers start fights; gossips break up friendships.
