Facebook sort of does it all for you after you give the permissions and friend the person. I'm very computer dumb so they made it quite easy.

I talked with Epi and his wife this morning. It was too wonderful. To see and hear people you have loved and been closer to than even those around you is just...its a shot in the arm, that's what it is!

I heard some bad news this morning.
Friend of mine received the message from her doctor: Brain Cancer.

Her husband passed away on her birthday about 14 years ago.
Two children.

Her dad passed away in her living room from a fatal heart attack.

This is so tragic. She went to university, became a professional health care worker.
Devoted her life to the two children, on her own, also adopted a boy.

Sometimes I have a problem figuring things out.
What would I do without Christ in these situations.
For all intent and purposes, God is extremely busy, not to SAVE our flesh, but rather the very being of ourselves, our innermost person, aka our "soul".
However, if He can't get OUR ATTENTION, yes some of us do pass away!! As in GONE, and I'm sorry to say, that some shall be gone forever!
Will that be YOU??
.
In John 3:18, it explains that we all are physically born as being "condemned already". Not because we are evil, but rather because we are INCOMPLETE. No one has been born with Eternal Life, except Jesus, the Son of God, who came down from Heaven to GIVE to us His Eternal as A GIFT, IF we would only believe in Him, and receive Him as our Savior.
Is that wild? It sounds so, but ITS TRUE!! 100%.
Do YOU believe? Have YOU received Him?
Please read John 3:16.

I don't mean to sound abrupt or harsh! I truly am sorry about your loss, but until we realize that this is happening thousands of times daily, to everyone around the world, no matter who, we just skip off into the next sunrise (we hope), and think nothing of it until our own death takes out of the picture also. Does God have YOUR attention?

And what about those around you, who also suffered your loss? Can you be a "beacon of hope" to them, and preach Jesus to them? You now have a Mission, or you can ignore it, even to how many sunrises that have left.

If ever you do...it will probably take you more than one go. :)

When I hear my iPad ringing for Facetime...I first run around in circles looking for my iPad. Then, when I find it, I stare blankly at the screen wondering what I do to answer it!!
My two adult grandkids Facetime ...and the ringing usually times-out while I flap around, and they have to call again, and we finally connect. LOL

If this were true, would we be commanded to become like little children, do you think?
Those who are not accountable are not judged, are they?
That judgement of death (condemnation) took place in Adam, and we all inherited that judgment. That is how we all are "condemned already" since birth.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:22 22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the KoG.
IOWs, those who are only flesh and blood, cannot inherit eternal life!
So what shall happen to them?
No eternal life, therefore they can't go on living!
They shall reap what they inherited "already", and that is death, aka "condemnation". John 3:18
