With the resurrection began the ‘inauguration of the kingdom of God. ”
Decisive event, because it showed that the kingdom was then ‘launched’ on earth as in heaven.
Since we are are ‘Easter’ people (even if only’ for chocolate), … and our song is “HALLELUJAH”…
♥ ♥ HAPPY EASTER Everyone!! ♥ ♥
A ‘tornado of thoughts’ is unleashed in my mind… Every time I see this happen in America…
These thoughts, which result then… in an ‘earthquake’ of assumptions.
Natural disasters, which I assume, ‘should happen maybe’ to re-shape our spirit.
What was left yesterday to so many here in Texas.↓
I am absolutely sure of one thing: it’s always better to look ahead and not backwards. Material things are not important.
Think of those pieces of porcelain, pieces that many people collect. Before the pieces got to them they passed through other hands. They’re survivors of wars and natural disasters. Someone has them because they were lost by others.
While you have your objects enjoy them …Because someday someone else will.
But NEVER forget that life itself is transitory and possessions are not important.
One of the victims of the tornadoes in Dallas said yesterday: ”I remodeled my entire house. It took me 15 years to do and I lost everything in 15 seconds. Oh my God.” Ben Blackshear
I love the weather. I’m a ‘connoisseur’ of weather, so to speak.
Before leaving home, I turn on the weather channel and see what’s going on, what’s coming.
I also like to know about the regional climate patterns, how storms are created in different altitudes, what kinds of clouds are forming or dissipating or blowing through, where the winds are coming from, where they’ve been.
This is not a passion of many people, I know… but I don’t believe there are any people on earth who, properly sheltered, don’t feel the peace inside a spring or summer rain, and the cleansing it brings, the renewal of the earth in its consequences.
So I’m sitting on the porch, drinking my coffee and having daydreams about rain.
Happy enough in my heart to be alive and watching something very special: this huge storm.
The first of the first day of spring.
”Life is not about how to find shelter in storms, but about learning how to dance under them.” (?)
With all these tornadoes, devastating droughts, fires out of control, hurricanes, landslides, floods, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from end to end…
Besides terrorist attacks, tsunamis destroying inumerous cities around the world…
Do you think it’s a good time to be talking about taking God out of ”Pledge of Allegiance”?
And taking Him out of prayers in schools and discussing politics? Arghhs.
Not to scare anyone, but…
Today I’m going to check my survival material, just in case.
Now, if you believe you can do everything at the last minute, I have to tell you this: do not lift a finger now.
But you should think twice before you begin building your ark, once it’s started to rain… Because: denial and inactivity prepare people well for the roles of victim and corpse.
