Watching “Up” this weekend with my kids 4/8, and the scenes about death came on.  Afterwards it was the questions from my 4yo:

Where is the girl?

What happens when we die?

What happens to or bodies?

What is heaven like?

Are their toys in heaven?

Do we have bed times in heaven? 

 

Me trying to put death into a system where a 4 year old could understand it is hard. But what I tried to explain is if we believe in Jesus, and ask him to be in our hearts we are superheros.  What I mean by that is if we believe in Jesus, we never die we live forever with Him in heaven.

Reflection on 9/11….where we were on that day & how it felt.   That day made me ask myself the question of what is really important in my life – and for a while I focused on that.  But like so many others I’ve lost that focus.   Today’s challenge is to re-center your priorities on your faith and your family.

MOLESKIN:
Have you ever volunteered to take a Q at the last minute with no real plan?  I did.  I figured I would wing it, and that the handful of guys who showed up would be ok with that.  As it turns out, I only had to be concerned with me.  No one else showed and I moseyed around in the dark.

The Pandora station I turned on was Christian rap, yes I listen to Christian rap, and I’m not afraid to say that.  What struck me as interesting was (a) if you had told me years ago I would listen to Christian rap I would have had the same reaction you did when you read it.  Really?!?!?  He listens to that?  And (b) no matter what path we run down God always has a means to catch up to us. For music, there is Christian rap, country, rock, contemporary, old school hymms, etc.  He has every angle covered and He never gives up on us.  A close friend of mine has recently been talking about the strongholds we keep close and do not want to relinquish to God.  Why do we do this even when He calls us to surrender everything to him? The easy answer is sometimes the best, but the answer is because we are stupid, stubborn, selfish people.  No matter what we tried to hide, or how many times we try to run away, He is always there for us.  Pursuing us and wanting us to pursue Him.  He wants us to surrender it all to Him, not just the easy stuff, but ALL of it.  [James 4:7, James 4:10]

Faith and Committment

In Soren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling, the story of the sacrifice of Isaac is retold in multiple versions. Each is to suggest doubt on the part of Abraham. His point is that faith requires in some respect an irrational element. Upon reading this and reflecting, I thought about commitment and decision making. In reference to La-Z-Boy, if I am not wholly committed to something, then it is a faulty commitment. In other words, if you make a decision or commitment, you must fully own it.

 

La-Z-Boy once said, “If it’s not yes, then I answer no.”

 

So, commit and own your decisions.
