Yes, you got it, girl. We have only a short time on this earth, our weee, Finite Existence, to do what is RIGHT. God doesn't decide what we shall do. WE do. WE make a decision to choose either Heaven or Hell by our daily actions. WE have free will. Then, we're dead. All of U.S. What a fat, foolish person who sez, 'withis I'm well satisfied (the riches, honor, and glory of the world). No need to plan for MY future. I'll build bigger barns to store it in.' Fool, God sez. For this very night your Finite Existence shall be demanded of YOU. MORAL IS: store TRE-sures (that highlighted word is French, meaning VERY) in Heaven by humility, meekness, prayer, courage, fortitude... And I'll see you Upstairs in Heaven Above where we'll celebrate our resurrection for many years. Love you. See ya soon. God bless you --- JUSTORUM ANIMAE IN MANU DEI SUNT ET NON TANGENT ILLOS TORMENTUM MORTIS (Latin: the just [wo]man shall be in everlastin rememberance).

Down...I just love how you came upon these crosses!<br /><br />Down the road from my house is a tiny little church where one man made three very large crosses that are thick and stout. They are placed along the road too and they really catch your eye.<br /><br />Reminds me of what each one represents.<br />The center one where Christ was represents the way to eternal life - through Christ.<br /><br />The one side cross represents those [sinners] who reject that center cross and lose eternal life with God - receiving eternal judgment instead.<br /><br />The one of the right side [of Christ] reminds me that Christ gives ALL an opportunity - even up to the last breath - to come to Him and follow Him. That last thief [sinner] recognized that He was GOD and was carried into glory with Jesus that day!<br /><br />These three crosses represent the world and God. They either embrace Him or they deny and reject Him.<br /><br />What a visual! It is powerful and much needed to be shared here today, Beth!<br /><br />Bless you heart for stopping to photograph them!<br /><br />Choosing JOY, StephanieTRUTH SHARERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069583768409534620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271233348676627606.post-55379979039279006632010-08-03T21:25:33.175-05:002010-08-03T21:25:33.175-05:00Not my will, but thy will be done!

They too must die to self each year when there is no water or too much water. Just as we must lay these lives down for Him. <br />Congratulations, Beth!
