Good Things

Good And True Things Are Worth Repeating

Repetition is tiring.

Repetition can get old. 

Repetition can also be good. 

Examples like sports, music, writing, and school show us that repetition at something can make you great.

This is because repetition is how you learn something and improve. 

Good and true things are worth repeating, so I may repeat myself here now and again. 

If I do, just know that it was on my mind and that I was thinking of you when I thought of it. 

I love you.

2. Was Jesus a good student? Or, a great student? 

3. Did Jesus ever have a crush on a girl from school? 

4. Did you ask Jesus for help with homework before or after asking your parents? 

5. When did you first realize Jesus was different than everyone else? 

6. How strong was Jesus, physically? 

7. Do you remember Jesus ever being sick? 

8. What was Jesus’ favorite thing to eat? 

9. What do you remember the most about growing up with Jesus? 

10. Would you tell me a funny story about Jesus that you remember as a child?

What Happens When You Die?

He hesitates and chokes as he falls over.
He is dead almost immediately from the heart attack.
59 was too soon.

She is gone immediately in the car accident.
20 was too young to go.

He slips off peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by friends and family.
92 years went by in a blink.

The machine beeps and beeps and beeps.  And then it stops.  Cancer has taken her.
75 came too quickly.

He is hit by a sniper while crossing the street in Iraq.

34 years was not long enough.

She only lived for 2 hours.

To her parents, her abbreviated time on earth was perfect.

No matter low long life lasts, or how it ends, death feels unfair.

I believe, God built that sense into every one of us.

We are created in the image of God and death itself is against his very nature.

The only answer to death is Christ.

He lived it. He went through it. He overcame it.

Bless our short time here.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 2:9:
Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

I love you
