Reflections

I like fruit.
Not all kinds of fruit-granted but alot-you know the basics
Apples,bananas,oranges ,grapes etc.,etc.
I observeed the other day some pears ina bowl with other fruit,Apples and some oranges together resting comfortably waiting for one of us to extract them to insatiate our hunger.
Then I saw it.
A Danjou pear was reclining or had been reclining next to an orange.i picked it up and noticed that the skin of the pear had begun to take on the color of that orange-a most amazing sight.
The orange's color began to rub off onto the pear.
I then noticed the pear did the same thing after being next to an apple for awhile.
Humans are like pears.
We begin to take on the color(identity) of those we ally ourselves to closely.
Good or bad, the image begins to tatoo our color.
If we hang next to bad fruit,we then turn bad ourselves.
Good fruit, we become good.
If we stay close to Christ,His image will take hold upon us in that its not us so much but Him people begin to see.
His image begins to rub off on us.
We become transformed into His image.
Our lives are changed because of His reflection on us.

The Choice

If you happen to notice when you leave a comment,just below the box is a space that has the line-"choose an identity". In our lives,we make choices everyday.Some are signifigant choices,others are as common such as breathing0thats just natural.
Choices.
We make choices to live or die.
We can choose to follow God's will or follow our own.
To live or die.
I have said in my class that everyday we wake up and make a sub concious decision of wether or not we live for God the moment we crawl out of bed.
For some , it is the choice of do I believe that there is a God?
Should I take this route to work?
Do I wear this shirt or this blouse?
My identity?
Do I identify myself in Christ or not?
I have to choose this everyday.
There is a song by Saint-a Christian metal band that has a song titled "The Choice"
You can choose to walk away..
Or you can choose to disobey...
You can choose to throw your life away...
God or the devil,God or the devil...
Choose Your Identity.

The End

You know, I've heard alot of talk cocerning global warming from Al Gore.
Stupid.
Leave it to a politician to prey on our hearts and minds about something that cannot be reversed.
The End of mankind.
End of History.
It is a common theme for a hopeless people to dwell on ways to save their lives and existence through soapboxes like this.People that have not any hope fpr the afterlife concern themselves with prolonging life.
Earth is running down.
The universe is running down.
The human race is not ready to face its own motality.
If we save the Earth,we'll save our lives.Scriptures teach us that our lives are like a vapor.
Perhaps if we focus our lives on what we do now in the present state,better would our souls be prepared for the future.
I heard it said of one survivor of WTC that he now because of that tragedy,he loves his kids now more than ever-he takes advantage of every minute of life that is given to him.He is prepared now more than ever to face his eternity.
Look, I believe strongly in being a good steward of this world we're in-heck I am a composter-it makes so much sense. We are called by God to look after the earth-from Adam to me and you.
it doesn't change the earth's fate-we can however change our fate.
Hope.This old world will pass on and Christ is preparing a new one-no war,no disease,no global warming,no hate,no sin.
That is a future we need to focus on-the unshakable Kingdom.
We can shape our future generations with that kind of mentality-if succeeded,our end would be more glorious.less fearful andominous.
If your future lies with the hope of Christ,the end won't seem so harrowing because you are part of a eternal Kingdom-better than this world-FOREVER!
Don't take my word for it.Search the Scriptures yourself.
And don't listen to some dork who can't even quote Scripture correctly.
Like a politician he wants to use a topic such as global warming to strike fear to promote his own political bandwagon.
Even so,come quickly Jesus.

Of Morgul blades and skin infections...

We are making progress as of today.I was able to get my brace off my arm.
The arm is free-yet inspite of its atropy.
I am continuing my therapy and next week I will see the doctoer on my progress.
But you know,sometimes a bad thing can bring a good thing into fruition.
Tuesday,it was my usual day to go to therapy.My incision had been inflamed and painful.So, I showed my therapist and she told me to hold off on therapy and promptly got me hooked up with my doctor,who just happened to be in the office .
It was infected.So,he wrote me a perscription for an antibiotic and at the same time he asked how long the brace has been on -six months.He then told me that he thought it was time I had it off.I'll still be on light duty though.
Seeing the doctor got my brace off -thanks to an infection.
A bad circumstance can produce a positive result.And yes, the infection is beginning to clear up also.
Man it was hurting so bad (the wound)I thought I was stabbed with a Morgul blade
