Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

God's Protection

At a church outing with our teenagers we went “paintballing” this was my first experience and I quickly realized that I am not as young as I used to be. Running around the course, ducking behind old cars, boxes, and trees for protection was exhausting to my un-physically fit body. Of course the alternative was to get pelted with paintballs coming at you at 300 feet per second or 205 miles per hour. When you get hit, it hurts! Oh, and the pastor is naturally a prize target for a group of enthusiastic youth.

As I think back to that event I realize how fortunate we are that God is our protection. We can run to Him and know that He will shield us from the fatal shrapnel flying about trying to take us down. Let me ask you this. Are you up against a difficult situation or an imposing problem?

If so, run to God and know that He is with you and will protect you in every circumstance.
