I am sitting here at my computer, and have been for the past few hours. I go to IMDb, that's: www.IMDb.com and I look up celebrities that I am interested in, seeing what other movies they have played in, besides the ones that are out, with them acting it in 2005. I sometimes get sad, because I read some of their bios, and I see how much life has changed for them, (since they were first written about), to what they are doing now. We all degenerate though, that is the nature of the beast, (humans). We are born to die. Like, even Mr. Jack LaLane, the epitome of a healthy human being, won't live forever. (in fact, is he still alive)? I saw a very youthful photo of him, on this site, ( www.armywalloffame.com/ photogallery/photogall...), and I thought, "man, when I first saw him , he was old already"!! then again none of the people who were alive in say, 1800, (healthy or not), are here now!! Things die, people die. Well, being a believer, I guess I must clarify, there are a couple of people in the Bible that it is said did not "see death". If you want to know who they are, go to www.Biblegateway.com and look them up. I'll give you a hint, one is in the first book of the Bible, which starts with the letter G., (hey, some people don't know the names of the books of the Bible)! I, personally look forward to, "the big sleep", the "dirt nap", and NO, I don't think that I will stick around in a "ghostly form" to haunt the living! I'll be at rest, and waiting, for JESUS to come and call the believers, up into the air, to be with HIM. (Again, from the scriptures). It's no "FairyTale", people. That is why so much of the world today makes me so sad. People either want to live forever, or they think, "live hard, die young and make a pretty corpse" is a cool quote, something to "live by"?. We are so very hedonistically charged, and self seeking, and looking for the easy life! Forget about the other guy. Let him take care of himself, regardless of his state, of emotional or physical health.
I know, I'm no better than the next average minded person, I prick my finger, and it is the worst event that ever happened on the face of this earth! COMFORT ME, COMFORT ME, I HURT!! When the person right next to me, may have lost his leg, or arm, or gone blind, deaf or headless even!! I want my needs met. I want the good and comfortable life. I don't want to hear of anybody else's suffering, or of anyone else being abused or misused! Turn off that damn news program!! Who are they to me? What are they to me? I had jobs, I raised my kids, I give at church every week, ain't that enough? I did my duty! Did someone tell me to take care of my brother/sister? Did someone designate me, "my brother's/sister's keeper", huh? Who, when? How come it is the very people who, wear the crosses, profess the SON as their SAVIOR, sing the loudest "we shall gather at the river", turn their noses up the highest at those, who are different, those who are ignorant, those who smell, and, "OH MY GOD", (don't you use my LORD'S NAME in vain)! those who smoke, or those who drink, are usually the very ones who turn their backs on those, who needs help to understand the nature of GOD!? Is HE really like you, prejudiced, a gossiper, "holier than thou" separatist? COME ON!!!
I heard the saying "too heavenly minded to be any earthly good", they're just giving GOD a bad reputation, and JESUS wouldn't have had a chance with that crowd! Amen? Don't ever show a chink, (in the armor), I mean. You'd better, hide your own pain, "keep a stiff upper lip", don't admit that you are human, and might have a few questions. "Don't you dare question GOD, damn it!! You just take the bitter, with the sweet"!! I read the scripture that said, "he who endures until the end, will be saved". Doesn't the term "endures", mean that there is something obviously hard, and possibly painful, to stand up against? Wow! I started out talking about health. Is it true, that if you aren't healthy, or, when you don't "get healed", when even christians "lay hands" on you, it is because you deserve to be sick? GOD is allowing you to be sick, to "teach you a lesson"? OH NO!!! I won't let that get by, scripture says, "the thief, (satan) comes not, except to kill, steal, and destroy. I (JESUS), have come, that you might have life, and that life more abundant". The fault, people, doesn't lie with the AUTHOR of LIFE. (GOD). It is our own fault, humanities fault. Wicked, or just plain ignorant, not listening, humanity. We got the instructions, on how to live, on how to prosper, and be in health. We would rather be "on our own", and just keep searching for ways, around HIS WAYS. Like, "better health through medication". "Okay, I'll take famous phrases for $1,000.00. The answer is: "Let's try this, let's try that, just to see what it does"! Buzz, Pam? "what are things that your doctor always says to you, Alex?". Right!! That ain't working, people. We keep looking ahead, even to the drastic point of "freezing our bodies", (if you have the money, that is), so that we can then be unfrozen, and healed!!!, when the "cure for everything" is descovered. (hallelujah)!!! Whoa, couldn't all that cheddar, (oops), money, have been used to feed lots of people, buy lots of clothes, for the hungry and naked, what? Oh yeah, I know, they made the money, they should have the right to do with it as they want, but, what happened to the old addage, "you can't take it with you"? I guess now, you can!!! Those frozen people's eyes are cold, and closed, they can't see any more suffering, or tears, or hear any more cries of pain, and suffering. We can though, we can look right at it, all. Yet, I think the way we should be looking, brothers and sisters, is into our own hearts.
