Some may find it un-Christian to be a fan or influenced by the Beatles, but I really don't care at this stage of my life.  Actually, to make matters worse, for some of you, I'm a big fan of John Lennon, faults and all. I enjoy Lennon as I find that most of his work deals with real feelings and emotions.

Take, 'Yer Blues," for example. Have you ever felt alone? Felt like the things in life that brought you enjoyment are no longer fulfilling? Have you ever felt like dying?

Sure it's just a song, but the songwriter is sharing some deep pain, and emotions. Lennon exposed himself emotionally in many of his songs. Often saying or expressing deep seeded fears, concerns, emotions and personal reflections. 

Lennon has no answer for his loneliness, except for the line, "If I ain't dead already, girl you know the reason why." We look for escape from our problems in so many things; sex, drugs, fame money, but they are only temporary.

If you want real peace, look to the Lord. I do not know the state of John Lennon's soul. I know that he was a troubled man, that found peace. Rumors have him being saved during his five year sabbatical from the business , I would hope so.

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be trouble, neither let it be afraid."-John 14:27 (Ironic, huh?)

Or, another day, another lesson...

Ahh...my delays in taking a step of faith, are adversely impacting my daily life. Ever feel God pushing  you in the direction He wants you to go? Ever wonder why we dig our heels in and make our own path so difficult?

Fear and acceptance seem to be my giants standing in the way.  Fear of unknown outcomes, fear of not paying bills, etc. The acceptance of others as I walk another path that not only impacts my life, but theirs.  

Time to find the stones of faith, and slay some giants...
​

Just getting an early start for the upcoming week...

I know God loves me. He keeps bailing me out. of trouble time after time, after time. But why? I'm no further along in doing a meaningful Ministry than I was months ago.

This Isn’t Normal: Kansas And Oklahoma Have Been Hit By 65 Earthquakes Within The Last 7 DaysAugust 18, 2019 by Michael Snyder

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.
Mark 13:8

As we look around and see the increased violence, nations pushing against each other, extreme weather, earthquakes, and deterioration of morals, it surely seems that we are living in the "End Times," prophesized in the Book of Revelation.  

Your television and newspapers are a big sign saying, "Repent, the end is near!"

Do not wait, study the Bible, ask the Lord for forgiveness, and to be your Savior. No one knows when the world will end, but it ends for someone, everyday. Are you ready should the end come today?

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
Revelation 3:20
