Three Certainties

READ: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? —1 Corinthians 15:55

As I waited outside the Intensive Care Unit for changes in the condition of a loved one, I was reminded that death affects all of us: old and young, male and female, rich and poor.

In 1 Thessalonians 4, the apostle Paul comforted those who mourned the death of their loved ones. He told them that excessive grief resulted from being uninformed. Weeping for our loss is good, but we need not weep like those who have no hope. Instead, we must rely on three certainties of death.

The first certainty is that the soul does not die. The souls of departed believers are with the Lord (v.14). They have retired from this problematic world, and they “sleep in Jesus.”

Second, Jesus will come for every believer. Whether a Christian is alive on earth or asleep in death, Jesus will return for all His children (vv.16-17).

Third, there will be a joyous reunion. “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord” (v.17).

Knowing these certainties brings comfort to believers when their friends and loved ones depart. Although we are separated from them for a while, we will meet again in the presence of our Lord. Albert Lee

When facing death’s shadow, remember the Light;
The shadows bring fear, and the dark shrouds our eyes;
But if we will turn to face Jesus the Light,
The shadows will fade as He brightens our skies.  —Lee

Sunset in one land is sunrise in another.

Bible in One Year:   Jeremiah 40-42; Hebrews 4

It's raining here. I forgot how much fun it is to hydroplane.

I brought the rain back with me from Alabama last Friday.

Ya'll 'R welcome. LOL

Howdy. Waiting for my next job. Might be next week, might be right after Thanksgiving. Interesting.

Yer back in TX eh. I missed the early voting, so went today. God grief! I waited 45 minutes. Msdrby went after I did and waited an hour.


Too bad the only choices are: Liberal, Socialist, Communist, or "What the heck for?"

Althought it wasn't marked as such, I voted straight ticket for the "Lesser Of All Evils" party.

howdy! I barely got to vote tonight it was so crowded. Seriously, though, the website had the location wrong, and the lady behind me said she had to go to three different places before arriving at the correct voting facility. I sure am lucky to have husband who did the research for me so I wouldn't have that particular headache! I imagine there were quite a few who were turned away after traipsing all over the city to find just where in the world precinct 6 was supposed to vote.

I bought another vintage mic. This one has no guts in it. I'll put modern stuff in if I choose to use it.

Congrats on the big event! Real happy for y'all.

Enjoy your new home in Jaw-juh - it's really a great place. Everyone needs a little downhome and it sounds like you're adjusting just fine to rural living.

Here's a tip: Tractor Supply!

Had I realized that being a "boomer" was a volunteer position during basic, I probably would have done it.

Hi ya'll. Yep, back home again.

Amazing the voter turnout even here in this little bitty town. I'm not trying to make light of ya'll's crowd by saying this, it is just a reflection of the heavy turnout. I've never had more than 2 people ahead of me in line to vote here. I have also been a poll watcher in several elections here and never seen lines except at hours before work, during lunch hour or after people got off work. Yesterday, I went at 3:30 in the afternoon to avoid the rush times. There were 6 people seated and voting and 7 people in line ahead of me. After I finished with my ballot, there were over a dozen people in line and still several seated and voting. It was just weird.

I was hoping that was an indication that Americans were showing up to support the nation and our principles. Today, I am sad, concerned and disgusted as everyone else. I stayed up till 2AM watching returns and was just sick. I know, preaching to the choir here.

One thought that hits me real deep in the gut is how so many people show this kind of disrespect to our fighting men and women. This is equivalent to the spitting in the face from years past. I'm just revolted by it. Just sick.

On a lighter note, I'm on my way to the range to take out some frustration. Work on my personal home security skills. After yesterday, it seems like something more needful than ever. ~sigh~

God Bless him. He's in my prayers already.

Heard the news on BAP this morning. And once again I was happy with the smoothness of the handling of the situation by our president. Immediate announcement of the replacement as a daily part of business. Mr. Gates is gonna be in our prayers a lot for the next coupla years I think.
