WHAT IF....

What if....

What if you were hungry;

What if you had a hungry child;

A hungry parent or relative?

What if someone had a gun

in one hand,

 a loaf of bread in another,

the gun at your head,

and the offered bread

held forth to you...

if you would renounce

your faith-religion-trust in

Jesus Christ and redeemer?

Would your chose the loaf

in the hand of a tyrant

or would you chose the

 REAL BREAD OF LIFE?

Would you be like Peter

and deny Christ Jesus

three times

and then shed tears

of regret or shame?

Would you chose

to carry your cross

and drag yourself

up the hill of Calvary,

shedding your sweat, blood

and flesh along the way?

What would you do?

What would you chose

 a loaf of bread

or eternal salvation?

None of us really know because we have seldom been tried or put into such a sorrowful condition, at least not in this country so far.  Could we, a great nation, ever come to such a miserable state?  The answer is yes.  We are no longer a First World Country.  We are a second world state and falling.  We have a failed government that is in rapid decline, even if you can not see it or admit that it occurring.

This eve. I cooked three steaks with a big, fat onion and rice.  It turned out well and I was tempted to eat another steak, but refrained myself.  Ha!  It wouldn't be good for my diet!  Now I have a craving for some dark chocolate.  Fortunately for my waistline...I don't have any in the house!

I did get out and pick up wind blown twigs and papers from the yard.  The grass is growing way too fast!  Tomorrow I will try to get a little more done in the way of yard work.  The ground is very soft and  and there is more rain-lots of it-on the way. And that is where the day went, but it certainly was a glorious day.
