Now is the Time

What is this life we live? We all have dreams. Some achievable, some not so much. We were told that we can do anything that we put our mind to. Is that really the case? I aspire to be just like Det. Olivia Benson on Law and Order: SVU. That will never happen. I live in a fantasy world. I do have dreams, and here lately I haven't been working to achieve them. I've been dillydallying around and haven't been focusing on the bigger picture. I will go get my Master's degree at some point. I will be published again.

I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.'" Revelation 1: 17-18 Many people, especially older generations, fear Revelation. They don't understand it. It just isn't what the word is about. What's crazy is that everything from Genesis to Revelation lines up perfectly because of God. If it is in this bible, it is meant to be. This verse is all about His resurrection. Jesus is my story. He is my life. I am here because of Him. So let's debunk the theory that the resurrection is foolish. Jesus' resurrection is the most powerful thing we experience. There is no Christianity without the resurrection. The resurrection is the faith that we hold. Easter isn't just one day for Christians. It is every day. You need to look forward to the day...
