Happy

Well, this was a very long day. Whenever I travel I dread that first day back in the office. I needed to get some work done and I didn't want to walk in tomorrow morning and be totally swamped.

I found out today that there is going to be a free concert at the Starbucks in Doral this Thursday. I'm quite excited because that is just the pick me up I need to get me through the week.

Is it weird that I notice a lot of things differently at work towards my co-workers? I know that we should love our neighbor but some of the people that I work with are in the same place that I was in the past. Problem is that I don't see any of them changing or wanting to change. I read a book the other day called "23 minutes in Hell". Now, I know that I should be learning about good things but I think that in order to realize our future we need to be informed of what is out there. I was absolutely shocked at the first chapter. I sat there kind of shaking, not because I was worried about experiencing that myself. It was more because I feel shocked that some of my fellow co-workers will be there to endure that. I pulled out my bible and looked up a couple of verses that I had found. There is no way to God but through his Son. The road to him is narrow and hard. Most people won't make it. The road away from him is wide and easy. Most people will go there. Why is it that I'm so shocked to discover this? Or is the better question, Why would God send good people to Hell? I read something the other day about the rich man and beggar. I don't remember what book it was in but it was about how the rich man had everything and lived life to the fullest. The beggar had sores and had nothing. Soon the beggar passed away and then the rich man followed. The beggar went to heaven and the rich man went to hell. When the rich man was in the fire he looked up and saw the beggar standing next to Father Abraham. He asked if he could send the beggar down to tip his finger in the water to help cool his unquenchable thirst. Father Abraham said that while living, you had everything and that you never gave to help out the beggar. The rich man then pleaded again. Father Abraham then said, "There is nothing that we can do. There is an invisible force between us. No one can travel from here to there or from there to here." Then the rich man, realizing that he was doomed there forever, begged Father Abraham to send the beggar back to Earth to warn his brothers. He said that his brothers would listen if someone came back from the dead to tell them. Father Abraham then said no because the message is already there. If they didn't listen to Moses the first time then they will not listen at all.

This story amazed me. It makes me think that some people are destined to go to Hell. But I think that it's our job to help people realize that is not where they want to be. I just feel sad that some people I know are too stubborn to do anything about it until it is too late.

So those are my thoughts for this evening. Going to check out now and do some more reading.

God Bless.

Until next time...:-)
