Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Thursday, August 29th

Another beautiful morning...temperatures are expected to be in the 90's today...here and at home. 

I haven't been sleeping well.  The bed is hard and I wake up a lot and very sore.  Moving slow :-(  but I am moving :-)

When we left our cabin yesterday morning...there was a pile of elk poo...right outside the door :-)
We had a busy day.  We drove up the Rocky Mountains...what a beautiful site to see :-) Saw a lot of elk roaming in the mountains and right through the city.  So much fun...
People are crazy, they will do anything to get their picture.  They forget they are wild animals...

Last night we went to see a haunted hotel.  It was used to film the movies the Shining and Dumb and Dumber - The Stanley Hotel.  Today we are going through local shops.

Eternal Life: Do You Want It?

Read | 1 John 5:3-12

Good health, it seems, is on everyone’s mind these days. Books about the latest, greatest fad diets top the bestseller list. Nutrition stores and health clubs pop up all over town—at times right next door to fast food restaurants. And late-night television is constantly unveiling a flood of gadgets and gizmos, all designed to get you into “the best shape of your life” (and with the promise of minimal effort and commitment).

Why is the health industry such a booming business? It’s because longevity is a major concern: most people have an innate desire to live as long as they can. But in addition to wanting quantity of years, people also want the highest quality life possible. Yet this emotional need for a long, robust life is most frequently centered around the physical world. What about life after death?

Scripture makes it absolutely clear that eternal life is available to every person on earth (Rom. 10:13). Sickness, disease, and death are all bound to life on this planet; however, everyone in Christ has already overcome the worst this world has to offer—namely, death (1 John 5:4-5). Despite their emotional appeal, television infomercials cannot offer anything to compare with the promise of eternal life.

As believers, we should be shouting this message from the rooftops. The people around us are yearning for a word of life, but too many Christians have remained silent. Why? How can we keep secret what God went to such great lengths to reveal? We can live forever! Who in your life needs to hear this amazing truth today?

Another great day!
