A Place Where Friends and Family Can Be Updated

I forgot to post a thought. .

Brandon and I often watch clips/sermons etc on GodTube. We came across an interesting character. I won't expound on why he was an 'interesting' person but he had some neat points. We clicked on him because of video title and ended up being surprised at his reasoning. Anyway, one point of his that I wanted to share is how God shortening our lifetime in the Flood was a gift. The man's point was it shortened our Sinning experience but for me it hit differently. I don't know about you but I often think "why does the Lord have us live so long if this is not what we were made for? Why doesn't He just shorten our lives and take us home?" Well, according to this thought, He already did. It's called the Flood and shortening our lives to 120 years. Against the backdrop of eternity or even Methusaleh's 900 years 80 or 120 years is basically just enough time for all personalities/walks of life to make their decison. Also, by default, to help others' to a simliar conclusion. Then it's done. God honors your decision and that's it. No second lives or chances, just the 120 you've been given. I've never thought of it in that light. . . The time at an airport can seem long but really is quite short. Essentially we all show up and wait. Some sit and read, others talk and still others are bent to use even those few moments in their life for a purpose. We all have to choose which flight to take - Hopefully it's the one going up instead of down. Short, Quick, Decide and Go. It is a small paradigm shift but for me it was big since I often have the "why not take us now?" thought. Essentially, He does. It's just the difference in a few short years, possibly decades - which is fractions of seconds in the scheme of things. Not even, because you can't break down eternity. Life's short. Make your choice and live it fully for it's purpose: Bringing God Glory and helping as many onto the right departing flight as possible.
