Ever Lasting.

Over seven, almost eight, decades I have heard about “ever lasting.” So far, I haven’t found a thing on this planet that is ever lasting. Starting with snow, unless you live in the tundra or arctic. For those of us who have no desire to freeze our tails off twelve months of the year I pass on the Arctic and Antarctic. I do love skiing though but I can go there to the snow, have a wee of a time, and return home and get back to work.

As far as I know, the only promise for ever lasting is eternity. There are catches involved with eternity, however. You kind of have to not be a jerk of any type to have a shot at getting into eternity. Jerks just go to the ground and rot don’t they? Unless they get burned to ash purposefully or otherwise. There’s no telling what end we have in store so it might be wise, given eternity, to not kill another person for reasons of lust, greed, or hate. Those three are not what He is looking for from eternity. Nah, there is no hell other than finding out after you die that the bible is truth and you went and screwed the pooch as to eternity. Not a smart idea, eh? Besides, the pooch didn’t do a blessed thing to you!

Notice how I don’t go all squishy when I write about God? Rather, I tend to not beat around the bush. Talking like a priest or Rabbi isn’t my cup of tea, glass of beer, or shot of whiskey. The latter two I stay away from and I don’t much like tea either. Coffee and water is about it for me. A slice of my wife’s homemade apple pie will go nicely with a cup of coffee. Keurig now as percolators are old hat and a pain to get right unless you brew coffee with them everyday as my mom used to do. I was the only one in my family that learned to use a percolator. It’s good coffee but you have to buy coffee you may not care for using one of those. Spoiled are we coffee drinkers since Keurig came out.

Coffee and God, a great way to end a busy day. How ’bout them apples?
