I'm so thankful to be in my church. There is such a sense of unity and love.

One of our pastors has been diagnosed with a terrible type of cancer, and the whole church has just united for their sake.

There are no words for the pain and anxiety our friends are going through right now, but we cry with them.

I was lead to this verse last night, and it was re-affirmed this evening when the service was about this chapter of Luke:

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ¹⁰ For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

¹¹ “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for^[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead?¹² Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? ¹³ If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11, NIV)

So we keep knocking, keep praying.

I love this pic! And i believe Jesus will brb, but maybe not in our understanding of 'brb'. brb in eternity is a pretty long time, i'm guessing.

The man i live with was telling me today that he believes it's gonna be really soon, that we're in 'the end times'. He bases it on the two horrific earthquakes in the last month and the tsunami, and the total corruption of leadership in north korea, lybia and all the trouble still going on in the middle east. but i'm not sure. I honestly don't think we're going to be able to predict when he's coming back. and, yes things are really really crap in the world... but i do think it's gonna get a lot worse before he comes back. Wow, bit morbid. Good job he's coming back then!
