Just an Update
We're watching the Hurricane Relief program put out by VH1 and MTV. It's pretty good.
It's so sad to watch the footage of New Orleans and Biloxi and Mobile.
I hardly keep up with news anymore just because I'm so busy and my mind has become so full of other things that I can never concentrate on the news... I'll try to watch it, and then look at the piano and have to play ir, or something else.
But anyway, watching this whole hurricane thing really brings Revelation to my mind.
I feel absolutely saddened by the suffering of other people and can feel so wrong to be sitting in my air-conditioned home complaining that we're out of peanut butter and green tea while people are without home, food, family, love... anything.
And it's good that I feel that way, because I've no right to be complaining of anything... even if i was one of those people in
N.O. or Biloxi or anywhere where people are suffering or anything. What really makes me think is what CJ Mahaney once said. He said that when people ask him how he's doing, he replies, "better than I deserve". How true. I am doing far more excellent then I should be doing.
Why, if I dropped dead this minute, I would have far better then I deserve... even if I was not purchased by Christ... because he should have obliterated me at birth or never allowed me to be born. But instead I am here, nearly an adult, and following him and actually doing quite well.
He is so amazing. No matter any storm or disaster that billows and threatens, he shall always remain with a purpose.
It seems that many people are looking to God, which the gr8est good.
I pray that this tragedy would bring to mind the Creator, the Healer, and the gr8est need of mankind: Jesus, the Savior of the world; the son of God.
