Nona's thoughts about living in Extreme HEAT!

Extreme HEAT has convinced me of one absolute for sure....I don't plan to go to hell.  There are days when I think I have found that eternal lake of fire.  The heat is so intense it takes my breath away.  The beauty of Sri Lanka is fading as I view it through sun scorched eyeballs.  They tell me before I loose sight of the beautiful isle it will cool off and my love of the place will be restored.  So, with that knowledge in mind I am gearing up for one more month of heat in hopes that knowledge of the fleeting hot season will sustain me through April.  The saddest news is that many could escape the eternal lake of fire we refer to as hell, but they choose instead to go their own way, do their own thing, and plan their own days here on earth.  How sad to be so caught up in the moment that they loose sight of eternity?  With age comes a realization that life is so short, the bible describes it as a mist that is fleeting; a vapor that was but is no longer.  I hope my days here on earth are spent storing up treasure in Heaven where moth and rust do not corrupt.  I am excited to know Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and Master.  I have learned so much about the Master living here in Sri Lanka the last few months.  My prayer is that my life will remain always fully subject to the Master's Will.  In HIM and HIM alone we find peace that does not end.  I close this blog with only this thought why go to Hell when Heaven is an option?  As ever, A NONA who does not like extreme HEAT!
