Gooood morning, good people.
My finger rested too long on the “o”…but I decided to just add another couple and leave it…as an effort to really really hope your morning is a good one.
The best good thing I can draw from the present weather is that the rain is being translated as snow in the mountains—preparing the way for skiing. Apart from that, the rain is kind of cramping my preferred plans.
I better get on with at least some of those plans.
Be reminded that you are living at a point in time on this planet like no other point in time. There are those who think everything started with a BIG BANG. The Bible confirms that it’s going to end with a BIG BANG (2 Peter 3:10). Since, “we are His people and the sheep of His pasture” (Ps.100) there has never been a time of greater urgency for frail and finite dumb sheep to stay very close to THE INFINITE GOOD SHEPHERD. Please agree.
Blessings on this segment of your sojourn. Love, Dad/Ray.
As I move through this chapter of Jesus’ special prayer to the Father, I’m trying to give careful attention to the ideas presented. One of the results of this effort has been to formulate a list of the various qualities Jesus presents as describing those to whom He ascribes ETERNAL LIFE. I’ve come up with ten of them. Besides serving as a kind of recipe that lists the ingredients for ETERNAL LIFE, I think it can serve as a checklist to help us identify our own status in relation to this goal. Now, just a minute—I think I didn’t say that quite right. The fact is that people don’t inherit heaven and ETERNAL LIFE just because they focus on the pursuit of heaven and ETERNAL LIFE. More accurately, these wonderful benefits are automatic by-products of pursuing a love for God—A HEART AFTER GOD.
