I came back from the Pastor’s Prayer Summit this afternoon riding with Gary. When we got to JBC I got out and while I was getting my luggage out I set my iPad out on the rail of the pickup bed, and forgot it there. He made it about a mile before it slid off in the middle of the road. I used the”find it” app on my Iphone and drove right to where it was laying in the middle of the road. It looked like it had been run over a few thousand times. Because I use my iPad so much I went right into the AT&T store in Albany and bought another one. It took awhile for the nice guy in the store get everything switched over, but finally we got it all. He had a good laugh when he saw my iPad and had little difficulty selling me insurance on my new one. My old one was eight years old and my new one has a lot more bells and whistles on it, and the price was quite a bit higher as well. It is a miracle that I have kept it for eight years because I have left it in restaurants, on top of the car, motels, and I even left it on an airplane once. It is tough to get old.

It is times like this that I get to day dreaming about my new body that I am going to get when I get to heaven. The Bible says that I am going to get a body like Jesus has now. I expect that my thinking capacity is going to be amazing. I wonder what that is going to be like, to have perfect memory, amazing wisdom, and the ability to grasp and understand anything.

I get this new body that will never die, get old or tired, and will probably be able to fly. Why? Because I trusted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and am now in God’s family. There are so many people who have not accepted Jesus as their Savior, because of pride, mostly, they think they can make it on their own. I don’t know what hell is going to be like, I do know it is going to be bad. The sad thing is that becoming a follower of Jesus is free and easy, and then eternity is going to be wonderful. It is a puzzle to me why people reject that, but they do.
