PULLED IN TWO DIRECTIONS

Our Daily Bread
July 29, 1998

"To me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ... I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ. (Philippians 1:21,23)

As Christians, we are pulled in two directions. We all want to go to heaven, but this life also holds great appeal. We are like the youngster in Sunday school who listened intently while the teacher told about the beauties of heaven. She concluded by saying, "Raise your hand if you want to go to heaven." Every hand shot up immediately--except one. "Why don't you want to go to heaven, Johnny?" "Well," he replied, "Mom just baked an apple pie for dinner."

The apostle Paul had mixed feelings too. Although he believed he would be released from prison, he knew that he could possibly fall victim to Nero's sword. This created a conflict. He longed to be with Christ, for that would be "far better" (Philippians 1:23). He also wanted to live, not merely to enjoy life, but because he was needed by his fellow believers (v.24).

Paul was pulled in two directions, and in both cases it was for the highest reason. What about us?

I was blessed to spend the day with Adam today.
He has been home on leave from Afghanistan.
He heads back on Wednesday the 25th.
You just gotta love these guys.
Thank you Kathy for all that you do.
My prayers for all the warriors.

Good evening, teen...guess what??

It has warmed up to almost 4+ degrees. “They” say it should warm up and snow maybe Sunday.

I hope those “things” haven’t been too bad for you today. *HUGS*

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Your Marines doing well?

[Kathy in Alaska]

G’Day, Janey...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you in the Land of Oz.

The look on the face of that baby...too cute.

A nice weekend for you?
