Ya'll heard about Russia yet?
Well, Russia has sent forces into Georgia, killing at least 2,000 people and just missed blowing up an oil pipeline. Georgia has pulled 1000 troops out of Iraq to fight off the separatists in S. Ossetia. Georgia has approved a state of war for 15 days.
I'll be keeping an eye on what's happening. Doesn't sound good.
Also, ya'll pray for China during the Olympics. Keep our brothers and sisters in Christ in your prayers. There might be a chance for release of some Christian prisoners. President Bush might be visiting some house churches which will bring them out from under the radar.
Speaking of China, Joey Cheek, an Olympic speed skater, was banned from going to China because of his work with creating Team Darfur. The Olympics are open to everyone in the world... who agrees with China. Even the opening ceremonies, what little I saw of them, were laced with propaganda. *shakes head*
I don't know about you guys, but I look out the window and hope to see my Lord returning. When that glorious day comes... Well... *smile* We won't have to worry about the economy, the terrorists, the wars, the oil crisis... We will be gathered in by our sweet Jesus, and I can't wait.
Will I see you then? |

Even the very best hope and dream fulfilled is not as great as the Lord's return. Trust me in this, fellow author. As you know, being published--while perhaps a "dream" for some---is really not all that it's touted to be. Even before my first book was accepted, I said, "This is exciting if I get published, but what would be better is if the Lord returned. That would be even MORE exciting, and I can pass this book thing up in exchange."
So I think you have the right idea. The boys occasionally talk about this, also, and I've been anticipating the Lord's return since I was your age (although I confess I secretly wanted to get married and have a baby first).
