Randy your Post is exactly how I feel! I took Ascencion day off because I wanted to come out of the world and watch! I prayed by going to the woods hiking to a spot I knew! I could not find it and in my mind said ok I will just pick a spot! I heard the Holy spirit say ahead! I thought I was bring told take the spot ahead that was clear so I did! Amazingly I saw a stick by a tree I placed there last year! It was my spot I just did not recognize it because of beavers and trees down! I placed my hammock between two trees and stared at the sky praying for forgiveness and fellowship! I don't want a mansion I just want to go and be with Jesus and God and know my son and hopefully wife are ok! All I want is a hammock in heaven by the river of life and some water and fruit! And see my son sing to Jesus! People think I am a little off taking Ascencion day off to be alone with the Lord! My desire to go is tempered by horror at what is coming and my frustration at people not understanding nothing else will matter! My dad died in his nineties led a fuller life then I have was a paratrooper etc I has been preaching to him for years grew up catholic!
I think he accepted Jesus on his deathbed I would like to think! I told him the priests blessing meant nothing he had to apologize to Jesus for his sins and ask to be saved! He said yeah yeah! It went downhill from there! Now all his stuff sits in an empty house! Everyone's like about selling it and stuff I just want to go home it's worthless after your gone! I want to be with Jesus because there is no future here! And he showed me love He was there when I called and I want to stand with Him! I am weak here I want to be strong with Him! The point is I have been watching and warning for years! I don't know how much more time we have but it seems short! This eclipse is big the summit is big Greece is big and no one cares! If you are focused on maximizing life here it's true you miss it goes fast and ends with you take nothing with you. Sure you need to work and eat and rest sometimes but it's where your heart is! The heart is Gods treasure he is looking for those who long to be His not the worlds! Call upon the Lord and you shall be saved! That means admit you are a sinner admit you need Him and are nothing listen to His voice! Time is short!
