Well this picture of Snoopy reminded me of a song from the 80's called 'My Future's So Bright, I Gota Wear Shades' by Timbuk3. [ heres the link, http://youtu.be/8qrriKcwvlY ] The song has been popular with graduations even tho the song is really about the threat of nuclear war. As you know, graduation season is upon us next month. I hope those that are graduating and moving on to their next phase in life have a plan in place with a guided sense of direction.
We can get caught up in the fear of war, earthquakes, or famine but the Bible tells us these things must happen before the end of times. Luke 21;9-11 '' When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away. Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.'' Believers have The Hope in their futures from the promises of God. 'I go to prepare a place for you.' We should look forward without fear because our futures are too bright, even for RayBans, to shade it out.
Be sure before you graduate from this earth, that your heavenly plan is in place with His direction.
Thanks Angie! Good analogy!

I really do think Heaven is a graduation. I was thinking about it today, how we always say it's a wonderful place but we really don't want to go there. We need a strong survival instinct and, thankfully, God gave us one. Plus strong ties to our loved ones here on earth, hopefully. At the same time, as I get older, I think more and more of Heaven as a place where we really want to go, a desired destination - when the time is right and our work is finished here.
