TRAVELS

I always felt it was a bit ironic that I work for a courier company and yet seldom go anywhere. Just one of those realities in my life.

So most of my thoughts in terms of visiting places resides in checking them out on the internet. Going to sites such as google and seeking pictures and facts.

Hardly replaces the senses. You can’t tell the sounds or smells from the process. But you do at least have some idea about the location.

And life is amazing that way. We can talk all day about places that we’ve never been and not have a problem.

Because there is some evidence. Yep, if you can see a picture or someone’s testimony it does help.

Oh the perceptions may vary, but most of the time we don’t question its presence or reality. Hardly true of anything to do with the afterlife.

No set rules on that’s subject. You don’t get postcards or souvenirs. Just tales from other’s minds.

Some you might believe other reject. But the one thing you don’t do is accept it is reality.

Because we can’t prove it. No matter the witness, no matter how much they seem sincere we do not just take somebody else’s word for something.

So it becomes an opinion. An eventual issue of choice. And if one is a subscribe to the concept of heaven, then it is a vision of faith.

I can’t think of any greater joy that to stand in heaven after death and have that thrill o knowing it was true. To face the Lord and be free from all that cripples in this life.

And for those who rejected it, that is the time it is to late. You can’t go back and undo the choices made.

All of which everyone knows. They just choose to deal with it by their own wisdom. And for me I am happy with the view of eternity the scriptures provides.

Always will be great to at last touch the place where faith is seen in ways that will last forever. That will only bring joy.

And I imagine I won’t complain about the last of opportunities to travel in this life either. For during eternity you have forever to find the stars.

It does give comfort on those days of wondering.
