I ask you to consider that our time may be unbelievably short. If you have not been saved, and wish to do so, please pray this simple prayer;
Father, I know Your Son died for me, because of my sins. I accept His sacrifice, though I am not worthy. I will tell others about this incredible gift.
Then watch your values change! You will on fire to spread the word!
But, what if you are not sure of what to believe? I was once in that boat. I often wanted those Christians to just leave me alone. One day, more in desparation than anything else, I prayed; "God, I don't know what to believe. If You're really there, please help me."
I don't know that I expected anything to happen, but, in a little while, I began to find it was easier to believe.
I do not think anyone can believe in God without His grace, but He gives it freely.
Ask Him!

Giving Thanks
Do you?
Most people don't... even most who consider themselves Christians.
We have it so easy today. Our world is fast-paced, automated & mechanized. If you're thirsty, you don't have to walk to a well or creek, you pop the top on a cola. Hungry? You head to McBurgers just down the block. Almost no one today has to farm, hunt, fish or scavenge, just to survive. We eat and drink without thinking about it. It has become part of our background.
Our kids pick our attitudes up from us. When you grab a snack at a convenience store, do you thank God for the candy and drink? Your kids won't, either. They've learned it from you. When they grow up and have their own children, those kids (your grandkids!) will be even less likely to give thanks.
The bible says; "...unto the seventh generation" remember?
God has given us so much, and if we're honest, we don't deserve any of it. Give thanks to Him! Do it now. Be vocal. Be sure your kids hear you, and ask them to join in.
Remember, He did not have to make things any easier on us than it was in Moses' time!
He has even allowed us to have modern technology. If it were not for the internet, I couldn't even post this message at all. Thanks, God!
Till we meet again, in Paradise!
