Well, today has been a tired day so far. I went to an AA meeting this morning at 10 am. I think it was the earliest meeting I've ever been to! I was half asleep the whole time and the coffee wasn't helping. The topics were wonderful, and there was a lot of joy in the room. I kept staring out the windows at the bright sunlight shining on the snow, wishing I could dive into the sunlight (not the snow). I spoke up a bit about how I so quickly recovered from losing my jobs recently, and how I believed that was because of all my new friends at downtown mission church. I knew they were praying for me, and I felt it. I rushed out as soon as it was over into the bright snow lit mid morning.
Driving home I listened to uplifting audio sermons, but didn't quite mean it inside my head, because I was just so tired. I talked to a friend from church about staying in my basement a few weeks. So on and so forth.
I find myself thinking. I want true peace of mind, and not peace of mind that is only there in happiness. I want peace of mind when the entire world is crumbling around me. I want to know, through and through that I'm saved and nothing can truly harm my soul. I want to rest on peace when everything goes wrong, and it doesn't even phase me. Someday, perhaps, today. Or tomorrow.
What is truth? Who is God? What is the meaning of life? On this blog we explore the interactions between Christianity and topics like culture, politics and philosophy. The word says we must love God and love others. Jesus Christ is God come to us; He is alive. God will call all of us to give an explanation of how we lived. Trust in Jesus and receive forgiveness; a new life. Stand for the truth. Glorify Christ in how you live. A new world awaits.
