Was I not just talking about Jesus laughing at me?

I was on the bus a few days ago, and this guy sat down next to me. He asked my wasn’t I that Christian blogger, Eden Stillwater. I said, “Yes, that’s me.” He got a little snide then. He said, “I’m a Wiccan; what do you think of that?” I said, “I don’t.” He said, “You know Wiccans are witches, right?” I said, “really?” Then the man says to me, “I think I’ll go sit somewhere else, I don’t think I can be friends with you.” He got up to find another seat.

I was careful to say this under my breath, but I said, “Yay, because I don’t want to be sitting next to you when that lightning bolt strikes, anyway.” Just then my phone signalled and vibrated. Needless to say, it startled me a wee bit; I jumped just a little. Now, imagine my face when I looked at that phone, and the caller ID read: GOD. I swear to you, I think I went forward in time to the judgment and backward in time to my birth all in the same minute, in my mind. GOD. I checked the message, and it was from some lady named Geraldine Oswald Davies. “Hello…oh, sorry, wrong number,” it read. Jesus will get you, yes He will. I think both He and I laughed and laughed…I bet He’s still laughing, too. I bet He told “GOD,” “well done good and faithful servant.”

Here’s David Crowder with the song I chose for today. It’s joyful, speaks of God’s love for us. High energy; I love it! Yes, it does fit with today’s post…Forever is supposed to be how long a marriage lasts.

Boy, what a week this has been! My cardiology appointment went well, and, thank you, Jesus. After my appointment I decided to take the afternoon off and go do a bit of sight seeing. There’s a lot of construction going on all over Las Vegas.

Someone is opening a new wedding chapel downtown. They’re re-purposing an old building. I happened to notice a Porta Potty just outside the back door of the wedding chapel. Now, I’ve been married twice…I thought to myself, “I wonder if that’s for those couples where you just know the whole relationship’s going to be down the toilet before the reception’s even over. You know, the in laws haven’t met each other until the wedding day…and the fight’s on the minute Rudy tells “Skippy’s” wife to go “fetch” each of them a beer from the bar fridge…before the bride arrives in the limo…and sure enough, somebody invited cousin Leroy, the playboy…He goes to weddings to meet women…yep, I’m pretty sure that’s what that Porta Potty’s for…but hey, it’s really a good idea…when you think about those people with lactose intolerance and such…Hmm, I think I’m telling my children to elope…I’m kidding, kids, you know I carry a gun…LOL..oh, alright, I ‘ll be good then…

He’s Only Just Begun

Today’s message from God Calling – A.J. Russell, reminds us that Jesus doesn’t stop saving us when we get saved. I hope you’ll all check the twolisteners.org website out and read the entire message, to help you understand what I’m talking about.

Salvation is an ongoing thing. We get saved from death when we come to the Lord, accepting Him as Lord and Savior. (John 5:24) But we also get saved as we’re going along and trying to walk out this new life with Him. I can’t begin to tell you how many times Jesus has saved members of my family…from me. He’s always saving me from myself; you know, the salty fries I’m not supposed to eat, the cookies that I really only need two of…Yeah, and then there are the two sizes too small pants…worked when I was 25. But, if I tried that now, I’d have to call 911 just to get me back out of them. Then again, maybe not. Denim is so thin nowadays, I might be able to just bust out myself. Jesus knows this. So, He sends a little angel to whisper in my ear and remind me I have better sense than that. He’s my Savior every day, all day long, He is.

The point I want to make is this: Guess what, Mr./Mrs/Ms. Christian-you’re not perfect yet. You still need Jesus just as much after 20, 30, 40 years, as you did when you first came running to Him. And guess what else-He loves it! He loves it when you are bold enough to come running and say, “Lord, I need you, cuz I really messed up…” We shame and guilt ourselves out of that quite often, because we get under the mistaken impression that Salvation makes us perfect. It does in God’s eyes, because He sees Jesus when He looks at us. He sees Jesus’ righteousness; we don’t have any outside of Him. (Romans 3:10) But God also remembers that we’re just babies spiritually. That’s why Jesus is our Savior until that great day. (Philippians 1:6) He’s always ready, always willing, and always able, more than able!

“Well, Officer, these fireworks went off, and these two pigeons came flying up and almost ran right into each other in mid-air…well no, that’s not true…pigeons don’t run…well, not in mid-air, anyway…they almost flew into each other in mid-air…of course, they’d be flying in the air…ohhhhh…I’m so sorry I rear ended you, Sir…. nncnp3g17zovk80h1ao5tgkn9q85wu9

That all actually went through my mind, on the fourth of July, as I was crossing the street…well, all except for that rear ending the officer part, thank God…and the fireworks did scare a couple of pigeons up into the air…and they almost collided in mid air…I’m still laughing at the sight. But really, you guys, shoo the pigeons away first, next time. That could have been bad…being hit by a falling pigeon…

Wow! Only 5 days until the Fourth of July. I always wanted to get married on the Fourth of July. That way, my husband could always say there were fireworks on our wedding night. My mother wasn’t so keen on a Fourth of July wedding; she didn’t really like my husband. She thought a June wedding would be much better-because it’s Turkey Lovers Month. She even picked the day; June 29th. I looked that day up on one of those Holidays and Observances pages. June 29th is Waffle Iron Day. Needless to say, that day was scrapped right then! I am not ironing any waffles, no Sir! Not even for my hubby.

Boy this has been a busy month. We have all kinds of holidays and observances. This month is Older Americans Month. I thought that was so cool! I was so excited about it, I told this lady in the restroom about it. I said, “Hey, May is Older Americans Month; you should celebrate.” Then I realized I was looking in the mirror and talking to myself. I’m glad we only have monthly observances once a year; I’d be talking to myself all year long! *The way to prevent getting old is to just keep getting older.
