I was talking with my wife about the possibility that some of us might stick around after we have been changed to immortal beings to help others and maybe even at some point to meet out judgment on the Lord's enemies in some capacity before it's all over. I borrowed a line from an old movie called John Carpenter's "They Live"  starring "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, a movie about "One man's battle against aliens who are systematically gaining control of the earth" (off the back cover). In the movie Piper's character quips "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum..." I borrowed that line in light-heartedly musing with my wife as to what I would feel like if I ever did find myself in a position of having to fight for Jesus in His army against His enemies. (Remember that boy Colton Burpo who went to heaven, as told by Todd Burpo his dad, who wrote a book, "Heaven is for Real" about the boy's experience? In it little Colton says his dad is one day going to have a sword (or bow and arrow, he can't remember which) and fight in God's army with Jesus and the angels and the good people against Satan and the monsters and the bad people.
 
So, anyway I was just talking about this possibility coming to pass soon but then forgot all about it and went on to the days events. Later we rented movies and finally got around to watching the one I chose last night and guess what it says in this movie? There are two main characters played by Al Pacino and Christopher Walken the movie is called "Stand Up Guys" and in it they decide to stand up to some mob guys and fight back against bad guys. I had never heard of this movie and don't know why I picked it and was even surprised when my wife wanted to watch it with me because it's not the sort of movie we usually watch together we both felt that if we didn't like it we'd take it off and put in Disney's original "Jungle Book" which I had also chosen (had never seen it as a kid and always wanted to see what I missed...) Anyway there is a scene where the two guys come nonchalantly into a bad guy's headquarters and get the drop on them because they never thought anyone would be bold enough to do this and they say to these guys "Don't you know that your deeds have consequences? You reap what you sow..." Then later when they get ready to go against other bad guys they say that line a few times: I'm ready to chew gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of gum." My wife and I were stunned. First we were both amazed that we watched the whole movie because it turned out to be better than we thought it was going to be and we both got the significance of that line and how rare that line is yet I just said it and in the very context of meeting out judgment on bad guys as these were doing.
 
Anyway, having seen the comments about how soon our departure might be these kinds of things seem more than mere coincidences. Just wanted to share it with you all.
