Psalm 139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found,
call ye upon him while he is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
and let him return unto the LORD,
and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God,
for he will abundantly pardon.”
Isaiah 55:6-7
I got this in an email, and although I rarely attend church anymore, I should.

If you’re spiritually alive, you’re going to love this! If you’re spiritually dead, you won’t want to read it. If you’re spiritually curious, there is still hope!
Why Go To Church?
A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. ‘I’ve gone for 30 years now,’ he wrote, ‘and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them. So, I think I’m wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.’
This started a real controversy in the ‘Letters to the Editor’ column, much to the delight of the editor… It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
“I’ve been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this.. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!”
When you are DOWN to nothing… God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!
I think everyone should read this! ‘When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, ‘Jesus, could you get that for me?’

Last night on The Discovery Channel was an interesting show about the Bible story of Sodom and Gomorrah on the show Biblical Mysteries Explained. There was various scientists, archeologists and others who examineds the tale of Sodom and Gomorrah and the possibility that the destruction of the cities could be linked to evidence of an ancient asteroid strike.
The show concluded with evidence that a terrible disaster did indeed happen around the time of the Bible story, and the scientists speculate that it was indeed an asteroid strike that exploded prior to hitting Earth, but which rained down fire and heated the astmosphere to hundreds of degrees, killing many people instantly.
I suppose that is a possible explanation, and strengthens my belief. If God plans an end for something, He can make that end happen however He wants to, whether it be by asteroid, earthquake, or anything else.
