Writing

I already know I am not a good writer. When I go back and read what I have written, I see misspelling, and it is not clear. That is because of my lack of ability to write it has nothing to do with the readers. Here is another thing Dennis Prager said that resonated with me. Writing is a mirror of what is in your mind. When you look in a mirror you can see the physical and you can fix your hair or get rid of that pimple. When you write, you see what is going on in your head. If it is not clear perhaps it needs more study. Often I read what I just wrote and it sounds fine to me, but if I read it a day or more later, it doesn't sound as good. It may not be as clear as I thought it was on the day I wrote it. Writing helps me solidify what I believe, and make it clearer. Often you will see me address the same subject over and over again, especially if something new has caught my attention. We don't know it all. I didn't wake up the morning after I became a Christian and knew the whole Bible from cover to cover.  My thinking has changed over the years. I don't know it all. The Church I grew up in that thought they taught the whole Bible, well believe it or not there are other groups that think differently about some issues that think they have an insight better than the next group. I think my family has used my Dad as a bad example. If that is what Christianity is than I don't want it. I am imperfect also. But God never quit working on Dad. He had some good qualities as well as bad, but he didn't quit. I saw a change in his last months that he was alive. God works on us until the day we die. If we hold Dad's imperfections against him, he may end up in heaven while we miss it altogether. And that would be sad. Ted Bundy, a serial killer could on his death bed have accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord and make it in, while goody two shoes, who goes to church every Sunday year after year and does not see their own sin but only their good works may in fact split hell wide open. I am a work in progress, as is any other Christian I know. Writing helps me see what is going on in my head.  I am not a good and clear writer, but writing is good for me. Sometimes it points out my lack in certain areas.  I actually think it would be good for anyone to look at the mirror of what is going on in your head. Writing keeps me in the word and meditating about what I read and that is good. Often that is one of the many ways God speaks to us, through his word.  My theology may not be perfect, but I am forgiven of my sins, I believe Jesus is the only way to God as scripture says. Jesus is the truth and I seek to know him better. You won't find peace in the politics of our nation. But it can be found in Jesus Christ. If we want to save this country we will save it one heart at a time as Jesus becomes Lord and Savior of hearts and lives. We may lose this country but we will not lose our eternity with God if he is our choice. Here is a quaint saying that is so true. Know God, know peace. No God, no peace. I'll bet there is a bumper sticker with that saying.  Our eternal destination is a choice we make on this side of eternity.  God bless, LVZ.
