The Lord put a great burden on my heart for my surviving family yesterday, after talking to a friend in Texas. I made a phone call this morning that I never thought I would make. As soon as I hung up, the words "LAST CALL" reverberated through me.
Is it really last call, or do we have time for one more phone call/drink/moment of denial? Thank God, I have been sober for 8 years. Quitting substance stupidity is no small thing, but it's the easy part. Repenting and getting rid of the demons is like quitting drinking on a much finer scale. It doesn't necessarily take 8 years; indeed, for some people it probably only takes 8 seconds. Whether you have 8 years, 8 minutes, or 8 seconds left (nobody knows), this may very well be your LAST CALL to get things right with God, if not your family. Spend it wisely.
Here are a few videos from my "American Prayer" playlist on YouTube. Aside from the discovery of the evolutionary Missing Link, there is a video about Universalism (everybody goes to Heaven), an entreaty to avoid "Good People Heaven" (a.k.a. Hell), and a hopefully-gracious pre-emptive shutdown of anybody who thinks that they're rejecting me by rejecting the message. It isn't my message. I'm just the invisible mailman.
Feliz Año Nuevo, if I don't talk to you before then, and thanks for listening...
