So, if i make my way through this wild, wan, weird world and don't get excited about the nuclear age and the space era, or if I seem bored - and I am - by things that thrill this world, it is for two reasons: the time is short and the fashion of this world is passing away. The time is short, my time and the age near their end. And the fashion, the scheme, of this world is passing away like a movie reel before my eyes. Every news report I watch means to me that the fasion of this age is passing away. The crowds on the streets hurrying from store to store, the traffic bumper to bumper, the United Nations, the politicians, wars and rumors of wars - the fashion of this world is passing away. I'm in it but not of it; I'm a pilgrim and stranger; I'm not a citizen of old Babylon. I'm looking for another City.

...Love Terry
Yes Terry --- we are So-journers here --- our citizenship is ELSEWHERE -- if only we thought like that and lived like that , not in a "weird" way but looking for a Better Place that He has prepared for us
How is John doing ?
I think it's wonderful that we are all on the same train going to the same City!! :D
Oh that reminds me of this song we used to sing in Sunday School Pilot-mom..
I'm travelling to a mansion
On the Hallelujah Train
The letters on the engine
Are J E S U S
I heard a Voice from Heaven
And I gladly answerd "Yes"!
I'm going home to Heaven
On the Happy Day Express!
...love Terry
Well Claire -- we have gone from "bed bugs" to trains and old songs --
Imagine the THRILL when Jesus we see and loved ones gather around
I LIKE THOSE OLD TIME PREACHERS LIKE VANCE HAVNER -- I remember some old time evangelist visting the little church in 1967 -- they even said back then that the pickings from the barrel were getting mighty slim so far as good annointed preachers -----
All aboard for Glory!
Wonderful post, Saija.
This is an excellent post, Saija! Thank you for sharing it.
God bless you,
LPP
