A Book of Verse

A book of verse, underneath the bough,
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread - and thou
Beside me singing in the wilderness -
Ah, wilderness were paradise now!

- Omar Khayyam

Good morning all!

I had hoped to be able to spend more time hostessing Amy's thread on the days I was scheduled to post the welcome ping...unfortunately, I have not been able to. But I am sure that Amy's FRiends have been doing a good job keeping the coffee fresh and the doors open.

I hope to be able to spend more time here today, but first, it's midnight here on the left coast and I am off to dreamland. I'll see y'all in a few hours. HUGS!

Well, I do hope you have a good Thursday, when you wake up. (By then, I'll be fast asleep, and waking up to Friday...)

Death Clock

Read: 1 Peter 4:7-11

The end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. —1 Peter 4:7

Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 19-20; John 13:21-38

There is a Web site that claims to predict when you will die. After you answer a series of questions, your projected date of death appears along with a digital clock counting down the number of seconds you have left to live. It's all based on current life-expectancy charts, but seeing it on a computer screen makes it more vivid. As the site says, it's "the Internet's friendly reminder that life is slipping away."

God in His wisdom doesn't tell us the day of our death. Nor do we know the day of Christ's return. The Bible urges us to live for Christ and be prepared for either event. Peter wrote, "The end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. . . . Have fervent love for one another . . . . Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God" (1 Peter 4:7-10).

Jesus said, "Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. . . . Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes" (Luke 12:40,43).

As Christians, we need not panic as we see our time slipping away. Instead, let's live every moment for Christ and be prepared to meet Him today. —David McCasland

The godless ponder death with fear—
For what's ahead they cannot see;
But those who put their faith in Christ
Anticipate eternity. —Sper

Be ready for your last moment by being ready every moment.
