Quix, thanks so much.

So often, these days, I think about the question Jesus asked in Luke 18,
WHEN THE SON OF MAN RETURNS, WILL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH?
I also think of the parable of the ten virgins. Five were wise, and kept their lamps filled with oil and burning, watching for the Bridegroom. The other five fell asleep.
To be one of the five wise virgins, one must guard against all the worldly distractions that would suck us dry, one must also guard against falling asleep, which is what the five foolish virgins did. [Matthew 25.]
May we stay awake, may we be burning brightly, may we love the LORD totally and unceasingly.
May we overcome till the end, may we be found in Him.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
THX.
