Getting Through Christmas When You Lost a Loved One

The 'Woke' Generation

 It is accepted that the so-called 'Woke' movement stands for idealism, intuition, romance, generosity, creativity, wisdom, and tolerance. Interesting. I suggest that all of these things sound good on the surface, however, they are essentially emotional responses to our environment and social condition.

The problem is that the spiritual nature of man is pretty much ignored. I would further suggest that the real 'Woke Movement' consists of those who have discovered God's presence and interaction with His creation. Truly 'Woke' individuals have learned that God lives, that God loves, and God liberates for all eternity those who seek Him out. Considering this broader look at 'Wokeness' and what it means for me, I am proud to call myself part of the 'Woke' generation. (Gary Laws, 'By His Stripes Blog')

What Happens One Minute After You Die?

 

Heavenward

 Heavenward! by Gary Laws

I believe, above, there is a land,

Far from the toils of life.

A place where love and peace does reign,

No tears, no quarrels, no strife!

A place that has been set aside,

for saints and sinners too.

Who've had their sins forgiven by,

The One whose life is true.

It is eternal, lasting, real,

Where Christ has built our home.

In mansions fair, we will abide,

No more to wildly roam.

Tis' heaven, this place that Christ does live,

and we shall live with Him.

For all eternity we'll sing,

Our praises to our King!

This all is very real, you know,

Were it not so He'd tell.

His promises are true, for you,

for me in Heav'n we'll dwell.

What Glory waits, what light doth shine,

upon the holy hill,

where God doth sit, His arms outstretched,

for this, His blood did spill!
