Karen and I just finished a long and very diverse conversation on a host of subjects and a wide range of topics of the day, history, our ministry, and we have come to the conclusion that time is moving too quickly, too many things are out of our control, and we can't figure out why the sun is shining brightly, there is a steady rumble of thunder and another storm is forming in our vicinity and will move out to the east and possibly do damage to property and hopefully not people. It was quite a discussion and resulted in a very long opening sentence to this blog.
The conclusion of our discussion led to me sit down to blog, because tomorrow will be a busy day with a stress test and then visiting with some of our church friends from Fort Collins. Blogging may not fit in the schedule. Karen is busy cleaning out the refrigerator and we are both listening to the thunder get louder and closer with the sun still shining. Our day was a good one, but one that elicited a string of emotions as we talked with a number of vets at the VA, heard about their ailments, their military service, their hope for our country with the upcoming election "mess" and the President's current visit to Vietnam and our new alliance with a former adversary.
It's beyond our ability to not only understand the condition of our world, but think of how to resolve the issues to everyone's satisfaction. All I can say, as I said to a Vietnam Vet who has faced multiple health issues and faces even more.........I hope you know Jesus. With all the world's problems, it's good to rest on the promises of God, the hope we have in Jesus, and the certainty that it will be okay because.........the best is yet to come. Thank You, Lord. And thank You Lord for silencing the thunder.
