A long day
A long day. What do people do without Jesus?
The beginning of my day was good. Spent time talking about the things of God with two friends. We discussed the move of God on the horizon. We know it is there. It is more about positioning ourselves for what is coming, coupled with the fact that the enemy does not want it to happen.
I then began to deliver our newspaper. I determined to be smiling with every person I met.I am going to tell you it was pretty hard. So many just looked down trodden by everything. I kind of know how they feel. In the beginning I was listening to the Song Of Solomon. Later I caught more and more news. I will tell you it made me angry. It certainly feels like those in authority are not listening to us. I listened to some clip of people asking for cars, kitchens, benefits, etc..
A friend sent me a letter about revival. Certainly, I agree. I just know it will probably not happen in the church.
My friend wrote me that the first of three altars is complete. The second should be done by the weekend and hopefully the third sometime next week. I went and looked at finishes, stones for panels and bases yesterday.
As I cruised through NH and VT on the route I had lots of time for thinking. I am convinced that this project is for such a time as this. The family being called back to prayer. This is not a religious piece, but a place where will be reminded of their God.
Last week a pastor I knew passed away. Another woman we had been praying for as well. She had been in a coma for a long time. And a woman had a heart attack. My salesman's wife. In the middle of it, my brother contacted me to let me know about an old friend who had died. Most likely with out Jesus. It was a long week and it caused me to realize just how we could be without Jesus. Seems funny coming from me, as I am out in the world every day. He and I used to party pretty good in those days. So, I am pretty sure from what I heard that is the cause.
The world is moving pretty quickly. We can choose to move as quickly and miss things, or we can enter the rest of the Lord Jesus.
These altars are to be a reminder of Him. In some cases to be a memorial to those who went before us. In others a reminder of His goodness. A place where people can gather to celebrate Jesus. Without Jesus, we are toast. We need Him. The altar calls for a place of sacrifice. A place to give up some of that busyness. A place to be reminded about friends and family, and to gather with them. A place where family will be uplifted rather than downtrodden as it is with so many TV programs and the like. A place where women are equal and do not feel l4 kids is "not enough." If this next generation is not taught about Jesus, they are doomed. Socialism is on the rise. Oh, I know the "end times" are upon us, but we can gather all we can to take with us. Isn't that the comfort of Him?
