cheer up Watchman, you'll be trading it in for a white horse soon Watchman - I picture my 340 horsepower steed to be a red chestnut mare; gladly changing the 4 wheeled thing. I’m sorry for the pain of the parole hearing, your nephew will pay for eternity, no matter what an earthly court rules, especially if he denies Christ. Sept - is NOT a fav month for me! Truly praying, it’s time to leave! Do you ever get that conflicted feeling? I want to see Jesus so much, this world holds nothing for me, gets crazier and more evil by the second.....but, there are SOOOO many lost souls still. I want them saved, I don’t want any to suffer eternal damnation. Trust me I have a few folks that I believe deserve it but still pray for them. Hang in there Watchman, we are the terminal generation and it will be so cool, just the most awesomeness to go by sky and not by grave! :yahoo: :prayer-hands: :flyup: Yes Tammie, I do get that conflicted feeling very often. Sometimes I tell the Lord that if, in His mercy towards others, it is still going to be a long time before He comes in the air, to just go ahead and take me personally now. I know it can seem selfish to just long to be done with this place, knowing that literally B...B...Billions of souls are lost without Him. I would not wish damnation on a single one of them. I just want to be in the Lord's presence, done with sickness and pain and heartache and sorrow, and with the Lover of my soul. I don't want it to be at the expense of someone else's eternal destiny, but I sure do want it. It's kind of funny, Regina, because my 95 Corolla is white. For years, my wife has referred to it as the "White Bomber", in no way meant as a term of endearment. She doesn't even like to have to ride in it at this point. I, on the other hand, think of it as my White Stallion. Perhaps I will be trading that metal White Stallion for a real one after we spend Daniel's 70th week at Abba's house. Maranatha!!! Watchman I so get those feelings, sometimes the weight of this world is so heavy. I have so many people that depend on me, so much to do daily, and all I truly desire to do is be with Jesus. I see so much pain, anger, disease ravaged bodies, turmoil of mankind and wonder how God, the creator must feel when He sees what we have become, “as in the days of Noah”. It is so comforting to me to know that soon, within my lifetime (I’m not young either, just saying) we will be the most privileged generation to take flight. Like JD says, if not soon, I know I’d go crazy! But brother, we will fly sooner than later, so keep driving your white bomber and get ready to trade it in for a white horse and/or wings (how cool is that)? You so got this! :good: :prayer-hands: no plates or tabs to buy, no more insurance payments, no more repairs, and your horse is going to love you! "''isaiahI"
