o death, where is your victory? o death, where is your sting?

here is a thought: no one who is guilty celebrates justice. Isn't that right? Justice is never celebrated by the guilty. Rather, mercy is. Our merciful Father sent His only son to bear God's just wrath for a sinful race. Jesus was brutally murdered for us. But he didn't stay that way. He arose in victory that blessed Resurrection Sunday, defeating sin and death once and for all. Now, through faith in the risen Christ we can have eternal life. Now we have right standing before a righteous God. Now we can have peace with God forever. And you know what the best part is? HE IS COMING BACK AGAIN. Be blessed by this song.

Luckily, I didn't have to spend too much time in the rain because my shuttle driver had arrived on time and was ready to whisk me off to my hotel in the 'burbs. *here is some free advice: when traveling to somewhere you are not familiar with like, say, CHICAGO, check to see if the airport has a shuttle service--that way you do not have to pay up the wazoo in taxi fares.  After a somewhat awkward ride in the shuttle bus,(while taking a shuttle may be the cheaper option, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. In my case, since the driver was not expect...

California, here we come...

Tomorrow morning, me and 3 of some of my favorite people will be roadtrippin' it down to the Golden State of California (specifically San Fran) for 3 days. We have no agenda really which is incredibly exciting. We see it as a ripe opportunity to be lead by the Spirit for a few days as we fellowship with people as well as enjoy each other AND God's creation. Ironically, though, it is supposed to be hotter here than it will be in San Francisco which is sort of counter-intuitive but as my dear friend Alexis says, "It's all good!"
