Just a few days

Just a few days ago, Charlie announced to the world that he would be a father April 3rd. However, since that posting he is now an inmate at the Stanislaus County Honor Farm for burglary and possession of stolen property. Now Melody, his wife to be, is very upset and does not know what to do. Let us pray for thoughtfulness to prevail where there has been none up to now. At 85 cents per minute I had to limit Charlie to calling me next Thursday after his court time.

I wrote him last night and thought of Jonah. God directed Jonah on a mission, Jonah did not want to go so he ran. 3 days in the belly of the whale made Jonah reach a different conclusion. I expressed how God had tried several times to get his attention and now he was in the belly of the whale. Yes it will be for more than 3 days, but he lesson still applies: do you wake up and walk in the Light or do you keep pressing on toward your own goals and pleasures.

Then I thought of the 70 foot 80,000 pound whale I am in. Do I wake up and walk in the Light or do I keep pressing on toward my own goals and pleasures?
