What's Next?

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard that Elizabeth Taylor passed away on Wednesday. It's been neat and strange to see the pictures of her life. While watching the news programs scroll through her pictures, I saw this nine year old, age to seventy-nine years. Seven decades. It was 'neat' because you actually saw the age progression right before your eyes, and 'strange' because it reminded me that this life doesn't last forever. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, Republican or Democrat, an atheist or a Christian, young or old, our time here on earth WILL one day come to an end.

I'm so thankful that I don't have to worry about where I'm going.

^{Revelation 21:4} ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”


I'm certainly not going there because 'I'm good enough.' I'm a sinner and I will be until the day I die. I'm thankful that Jesus came down and suffered a horrible death for not only for MY sins, but the sins of ALL people. Grace. Mercy.

^{Ephesians 2 
4} But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, ⁵ made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. ⁶ And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, ⁷ in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹ not by works, so that no one can boast. ¹⁰ For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
