Nona's Thoughts from miles away!

Popa and I are currently in beautiful Sri Lanka and enjoying the wonderful tropical fruit. There is a lot to be said about sunshine 365 days a year, especially if you are from the Northwest and use to lots of rain. I love the SONshine of all creation and the rain of HIS precious HOLY SPIRIT! I guess that makes me an all weather girl because I also love the wind of SPIRIT. Life is interesting when you follow God. I am not sure my own thoughts are even relevant and I find myself more and more trying to tap into HIS thoughts. I realize that being a Christian in our culture has become cliche and I truly want to be identified as a follower of Christ. To be a true follower of Christ is serious business because from the moment of HIS birth HE was only headed one place, to HIS death on the cross of calvary for the salvation of other. Am I really saying that I want to die in order for others to live. Our world as become caught up in the "me syndrome" and to follow Christ we must die to self. With age comes wisdom and I realize that there is only one thing worth dying for ... the life of others. Press on you soldiers of the cross of Jesus Christ we are assured the victory. God is ever faithful to cover our weaknesses with HIS strength. The once again traveling NONA.
