LOL. i went thru rough times, now i got the 'noia. LOL.
but seriously...i had good stuff happen today, and its kinda like...God -is- in fact, Good...I see that more, now...and He's smiled upon me, thank goodness. and...
thanks to Christ, life goes on. Without Him, no telling where i'd be (eek!), but I -am- saved and...moving forward, by God's grace.
Even outcasts matter to Jesus, and it seems...honestly, its not the 1950s, you know? I think a good bit of time has elapsed since the worst of my sinful 'junk,' and even since I first got saved, so...
I've changed, people change, people move...and a lot of it was simply 'what poor people go thru,' etc., so -not- living in poverty has been an amazing gift, 1st from God secondly from my parents...
not just -stuff- (I'm -not- livin' large), but not being constantly oppressed, etc. "...He came to set the captives free..."
Jesus is "the game changer," as the current terminology goes. I don't live like I once did, because He spared saved and forgave me...and He's working on me, day by day, Praise God! its awesome to have more stuff and be healthy, but if i was still an unrepentant sinner...eeek...probably wouldn't work out, any of it....
so, I Praise God for His love and blessings and mercy and kindness.
