When we take away the truth, and veil it with euphemisms, society slowly starts to accept gradual change, the type of change that leads to a degradation. What we are seeing today is a result of that, and you know what? THIS IS THE BEST IT IS EVER GOING TO BE from now on.
To all those who want to go back to how it was pre-pandemic, sorry... It never will. And we only have ourselves to blame for it. Our sins. Our egos. Our wants. Our selves. We, as a society, chose this path. Sure, it may have been our fathers, but... When we grew up enough, we didn't DO

My thoughts on yesterday's news:
On the one hand, as a survivor of rape, IF I had been impregnated when I was raped at age 11, I know that (with how I was at that time) neither I, nor the child would be alive today. I simply was not strong enough to get through that, and I worry about other rape/incest survivors ... If they too are in that mental frame of mind. {For edification on how I feel about life NOW, see below}.
On the other hand, I truly feel as though (like GOD's Word says) that every life is precious. And any life lost, is a loss to grieve for.

Had the opportunity to binge watch The Chosen's season 1 today. How GREAT is Our GOD? What love HE has for each and every single one of us. HE calls us to HIM.
I cannot stress enough that we NEED to answer HIS call. An hour from now is not guaranteed for any of us.
Accept Christ Today, accept HIM right now!
In this life we WILL have times of trouble, but as long as you have Yeshua/Jesus in your heart and life, the troubles can not be anything more than a temporary struggle. And as I go through the worst storms of my life (these past 8 months or so), i

A thought for us to be reminded of:
Yeshua/Jesus went to the Cross so that even the worst of us could be saved. So, when you think of the worst of humanity, the worst despot, the worst serial killer, the worst thief, the worst sexually immoral, the worst ________, ... The one who is your worst example of a sinner, Jesus died even for them. Yes. HE even went to the Cross to save ME. Will you let HIM in? Will you allow Jesus to be Your LORD and Savior? There is no time like today. We All fall short, and the wages of sin is eternal separation from GOD, but..

Throughout the turmoil in my personal life (and believe me, there IS a Lot of turmoil), the ONE thing that has been a constant these past 4 months is peace. The Peace of Christ has invaded my entire life, so that no weaponized tool formed against me has prospered.
satan has been throwing stones and bricks, and I've just been building a well lit bridge with them. Keep 'em coming devil!! You're gonna give me enough to bridge a gap on this narrow path!!!
I am definitely becoming more focused towards the real goal - #EternalLife with Jesus. How about you?

Many years ago (before I was saved), I was given (two different times) a diagnosis that led to death eventually. Until then, I hadn't really thought about death, and like many, I had never acknowledged that death could come at any time.
Though life is hard, challenging, and often unfun, I am much more in tune with my own mortality, and it doesn't scare me at all. I had the chance to revisit the feeling recently (when I was threatened online), and although kind of crazy, I still agree with my reply to the threat. I basically told them to 'Bring it'.

There are so many things going on these days. So many behind-the-scenes stuff, it is mind boggling.
To all my Christ following peeps: it truly is time to get your spiritual armor on 24/7/365. And if you're not feeling the urgency, you need to question yourself if you are lukewarm or not. Too many are sensing the urgency, and if you aren't, why?
Have you let things slide a bit? Eased off on prayer time? or Bible Study time? Perhaps you have done more escapism lately? Perhaps you are overwhelmed, and are needing a break (like I have been)? ALL of the above
