School is on.
We are in the middle of commuting to and from school for Ed, and to and from Cross Country for Cherie.
My head is spinning, and I need a calendar by my side everyday, all day to see where I need to be next.
Cherie likes her Cross Country team, a new home-school team for this suburban area.
She competes with area junior high schools. It's been an exciting start! My husband ran Cross Country in high school, but I knew virtually nothing about it.
I played tennis on my high school team, and I loved to cross-country ski. Later I did some rock climbing and mountain hiking. I forced myself to jog.
This passion for running fascinates me.
Cherie takes it all in stride!
Choir started up for the season. Bruce, our director, picked out some gorgeous pieces and I've been moved to tears already! It's going to be great.
Tears.
So many tears. Sadness for the lost, sadness for the demise and final closure on a young boy missing from Minnesota for 27 years.
Like 9/11 changed America, the abduction of Jacob Wetterling changed Minnesota.
We were all violated.
No, not to the extent that Jacob was. That is horrific.
But we were affected, because he was taken from a sweet back country road. There's safety in numbers, right? We moms thought so. Three boys on bikes in the wholesome country of central Minnesota. One taken, murdered, the rest of us changed forever.
Danger lurked everywhere from that day on.
Mr. Heinrichs took something from all of us that day.
Perhaps we all needed to wake up to our vulnerability. Perhaps we were too trusting. I know I've been too trusting, and suffered the consequences.
Human nature. We are so prideful that we want to think we are good. We aren't. No one is, not even Mother Theresa. (Canonized Sunday)
We are sinners in the hands of an angry God.
But God commendeth His love toward us, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Messiah died for us.
Jesus, our messiah, came and died for our sins. Took the penalty we deserved and bore our sins.
Thank God He rose again!
On Sunday night at the jail I was peppered with questions after I read the parables of the tares and wheat, the pearl of great price, and the treasure in the field.
Do babies go to heaven? At what age do they go to hell?
Do you go to heaven if you commit suicide?
Why do people worse than I remain free, while I'm in jail? It's not fair.
Why does God allow that to happen. Isn't He just?
Softballs, hardballs. I said things that I believed based on the Scripture and what I've heard from Bible teachers. Some of it didn't sit well. Several gals got up to leave.
There's a lot of pride and anger there in the jail. There's a lack of understanding! We all deal with these things, but in jail you have to face it in a deeper way.
I've been reading the book I got by Terry James, "Rapture Ready or Not? 15 Reasons This is the Generation That Will Be Left Behind."
Wow.
Really good. But sad, too.
If you really believe in something wholeheartedly shouldn't it affect all of your life? Shouldn't it drive you to act upon that belief?
If I truly believe this is the generation that will be left behind, shouldn't I be screaming it from the mountaintops?
I do believe it.
If I saw that you were standing in a house that had its roof on fire I would be wrong to walk right by. I would be obligated to warn you.
So I warn you.
Jesus is coming soon. Read Terry's book. You'll be convinced too.
I'm just passing on the information I've acquired, giving the people I care about fair warning.
Get right with God. Repent. Believe. Live for Him. Warn your friends and family.
DON'T WAIT.
If it's two seconds from now, two days, two months, two years, two decades-----JESUS IS GOING TO GET US.
Now is the time to trust in Him. Before God's wrath falls on the earth.
It won't be easy when fire falls from heaven and the god of this world has his way with earth's inhabitants. Judgment is hard.
Don't be taken in with the deceptions of Lucifer---the traditions and religions of man. Paganism. Mysticism. The Occult. Idolatry. Materialism. Don't let yourself get sucked in. If you are already in the embrace of these false teachings cry out to the LORD to save you.
He will.
