As I started typing, at 3:30 this morning, I wasn’t sure what I would say. It was another physically challenging night. But I know how writing almost always revives my brain and keeps me going. So, I opened the computer, logged into my WordPress admin area, opened a “new post” and started writing. And just like it almost always goes, rhymes began to float to the top of my mind.

And just like almost always, the rhymes head toward Heaven.
Of course, it makes total sense when you think about it. I mean, what could be more important than sharing a message of eternal hope with people? Right?
And if it’s not true, if I’m wrong, have I harmed anyone by sharing a message of eternal hope? Even if there’s no hope…even there’s only empty darkness when you die…what’s wrong with having hope until then? Because hope is often the only thing that helps humans through their dark days.
“But Tony, if there’s really no hope of eternal life, aren’t you deceiving people with a message of hope?”
Nope.
First…the evidence to support my claim of hope is overwhelming. At least to anyone willing to see or hear it. And second…it’s more deceitful (and harmful) to regurgitate a hopeless message.
But if you don’t want to see or hear this Christian good news message I’m always singing and talking about, tune out. Stop reading or listening to me right now. And as Fleetwood Mac sang, “go your own way.” And don’t let the digital door hit you on the backside as you leave. I won’t chase after you begging you to please understand.
You’re a big boy or girl. And your Creator has given you a will of your own. So, it’s important to know, and remember, it’s YOUR choice where you’ll spend eternity. So…
Be sure you’re good to go with it.
Some words that swirl around inside my head
Might live on long after I’m gone.
Because my thoughts of love become the words
To form a final denouement.
And who knows who might find the saving Truth
In words I was willing to share?
It would be awesome to find out one day
I helped a few, from here to there,
To understand the one Way life makes sense
And what their part is in the plot.
So I’ll keep sowing my small seeds of Life.
They might grow into food for thought.
