Facing the Future with Joy and Aplomb

Facing the Future with Joy and Aplomb
Because I am going through a serious illness, I find that whether I am exercising at the YMCA, or shopping at the store, or doing something else, I frequently think about life and death issues. I expectantly pray for healing of my body now, but I also know that someday Jesus will call me, and everyone else, home. Not only do I reflect on my own death, but at times I reflect on the fact that everyone I see must also cross that chasm.Everyone I see on a day at the gym faces their own death in some future moment. This is quite a thought. It tends to make me pray for everyone.
Death is a certain trial that we must all face. No one can avoid it, but mostly we do avoid thinking about it, because, we think, “what good would it do?” Actually it might do us some good.
For most of us our own death is a “biggie.” It is huge, major… “a real bummer” as some in my generation might say. For those who believe that death is ceasing to exist---it threatens to crush an…

Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving and His Courts with Praise
In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught us to pray to the Father, “Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.”But what is going on in heaven that we should pray for it to happen on earth?

With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. They were calling out to each other, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven's Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!’" (Isaiah 6:1-3, New Living Translation)

Pray for North Korea (and the US)

Pray for North Korea (and the US)
Though God in the Bible sometimes speaks to people through dreams, I am convinced that most dreams aren’t from God.  Beyond that, many dreams are confusing. Take the dream I dreamt last night (as I write this.)
I dreamt I was in North Korea (highly unlikely) and that I was meeting with some of their leaders (much more unlikely). At the start of the dream I was swimming in the water, and one of the leaders, maybe the current leader Kim Jong Un, may have been swimming behind me. Crazy, huh? Then at one point the leader became an older man (more mature?), and then maybe at the end of the dream a younger woman was the leader.  (Didn’t I tell you dreams are confusing?) At some point I was quoting some Bible verses to the North Koreans, and they (especially the older man), was smiling. They were familiar with the verses and actually finished each one. But they had been waiting to see if I would really live out the verses.
Now I wouldn’t mention this dream, …
