Looking for that blessed hope, and
the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Savior Jesus Christ.

This is a picture-perfect sunny Saturday...

It is hard to believe that only yesterday the tail of Hurricane Isabel passed this way. In my area there were only some heavy periods of rain and fortunately no damage to anyone's property other than some downed power lines.
Today, however, as I was doing my morning devotion, I began to once again have an ever-increasing desire to go home to be with Christ. I am waiting for, and I long for, the Lord's appearing. I am anxious for the “Rapture" and the call to go home to glory (see Before the Wrath – official Trailer).
I am so thankful to know the Lord and to walk with Him. In spite of my weariness and the oftentimes painful trials and tribulations that I must face, walking with Jesus is wonderful.
In the end it will be worth it all when I finally meet my Creator, when I see Him face to face.
All my present struggles and hardships will be forgotten. My years in prison will seem like the blink of an eye. And even now, as I live out this Christian life through the power of God's Spirit, I have so much peace in my heart.
I am living with a glorious hope that becomes more real to me with each passing day.
I believe that one day, as the Bible has promised, the Trumpet of God will sound. And those who are alive in Christ will instantly arise with those who have died in Him. We will be "caught up into the clouds" and we will forever be with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
