Well it's been a bit since I've sat down & put my thoughts on here. What happened since July? Geezh! Anyway, to catch things up: Letssee... The job...well, it's still there. No raise yet. But things are picking up. But I'm afraid there's gonna come a time where the boss is going to be given an ultimatum. I know they love the work I do, but I can't continue working at a place where I'm loosing money. We'll see.
We went to Disney World in Sept. The whole family...and the Mother-in-Law, too. It was my 2nd time but it was more fun watching my kids enjoy the "Happiest Place on Earth". And I'm absolutely just loving my church. I've not had a church family this awesome since my days in Jonesboro, AR while attending Arkansas State University as a member of Central Baptist. I have never felt more loved, accepted, & taught so well than at Big Woods Bible Church in Lock Haven, PA!
I went on my annual 2,874 mile trek to attend my family reunion over the Thanksgiving week, too. And I had the utmost pleasure of stayinig with 4 of my friends in the road there. It really re-impressed upon me how blessed I am to have such awesome friends as Geoff, Chuck, Lee, & Shawn (& all thier familes) who opened their homes to me & my 2 little "wild Indians" (yeah, I said, "Indians", so sue me, NCAA). And I was able to see my Aunt (my late Mom's sister) who was also able to see all my kids, my sister & her family...all at the same time. A real "once in a lifetime" happening. Plus, I lavishly ate all that greasy, Southern food cooked by my various cousins!
I guess since July, I've been most affected by a video that a friend sent me several weeks ago. I've shared this video with some in my church, many of my friends, & others who'll let me. I'm not one to spend a lot of time seriously speculating on future events. I mean, it's fun to just hear the variety of theories about the end times (and no, I've not seen nor read any of the Left Behind series) but I'm pretty skeptical about a lot of what folks have been saying.
Until I saw this video.
Now, I'm no prophecy expert, but I have to admit that this is pretty amazing stuff. The notes and the charts that go along with this video are equally stunning.
I am not one to patently say that over this past November election we elected "The Antichrist" but I will say that I am seeing more signs of Biblical proportion that confirm in my spirit the fact that there is a very real possibility I could see the 2nd coming of Christ in my lifetime.
It's an anxious time...but for me it's an exciting time as well.
