The beginning of a beautiful friendship

First time on here and I have no idea what to say. All I can think of is quoting something either very trite or something that will leave an impression on your mind that will probe your intellect in order to get you to return. Odds are I will most likely just continue to ramble until one of 3 things happens, A) something incredibly awesome or memorable comes to mind, B) I get bored, or C) I run out of room on this page. My guess is B will happen first.

I am just constantly reminded of the great and glorious truth that this life is a vapor and a passing pleasure. Sure, I am so grateful and stoked that the Lord has chosen me to continue to live and breathe on this earth for the "blink of an eye" that we call life. But I can't help but think of the future that awaits me and everyone else all over the world, past, present, and future who believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, humbled Himself to come to this earth and be the perfect example of a human being. Also, that this same man died and was resurrected on the third day and by placing our faith in Him and abandoning our sin, we are able to have eternal life! This is what keeps me going and pressing on to live for Jesus, is the thought that MAYBE NOW, as I write or as you read, the Lord Almighty could come back in all His glory and call His church home. There and only there can we be without sin, sorrow, and all other plagues of this earth. Praise God that we don't have to live in these sin cursed bodies for all eternity, but that we will received a glorified body, a glorified mind in order to understand and praise God forevermore with the clearest mind and the purest heart. My soul longs for this day! Does this not cause your heart to be stoked?! It does for me. Oh what a day that will be!

I once was lost, but now am found. I once was blind, but now I see. I once was dead, but now I live. Hallelujah! Praise be to our great God and Savior Jesus Christ now and forevermore.

May we only desire to give glory to God and enjoy Him forever.

In the Master's Service,
