I’m going to kill you Lloyd!

You had two pairs of gloves?

Yeah…

It’s the Rockies.

Thus the reason Harry wanted to kill Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber. (Super excited for the sequel).

I have had a lot of people try to do things to me or get me to do things…

·         Tried to eat food I wouldn’t normally eat
·         Tried to get me on rollercoasters that I wouldn’t dare go on
·         Tried and sometimes very successfully prank me
·         Tried to get me fired from a job.

I have been through some stuff, chances are some of the things you have been through are like this maybe a little easier maybe a lot harder.

There is one thing I have yet to face, someone trying to kill me (That I know of).

This was something Paul in the book of Acts had to go through.

Acts 23:14…

“They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have taken a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.”

Dude.

I have never had anyone have a threat like this.

Paul went through whatever it took to follow Jesus with his message.

People weren’t happy with that.

Death was something he faced multiple times in his life.

If you feel like today isn’t going great or you had a bad couple of months remember, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Paul faced death numerous times.

Sometimes it’s going through the hard times to go in the right direction.

If you are struggling, hang on, you can make it through.

Jesus loves you and wants the best for you.

Faith in Jesus can  and will get you through so much.

Sometimes life is not easy, but Jesus can help you through it.

Hang on.

Have a great day.

Horror movies still give me nightmares

I am 30 and still get nightmares from horror movies.

I feel like I shouldn’t be saying that, but oh well.

Horror movies are not for me.

They freak me out and I don’t enjoy sitting in suspense just to see someone surprise someone, freak them out and kill them.

Not my cup of tea.

Anytime I see a movie like this, it completely freaks me out.

This is why I tend to focus on educational movies like Dumb and Dumber.

I get scared, a little freaked out from watching scary movies.

I get scared with other areas of life too.

I’m scared of several different things.

The first one that pops in my head is losing my family.

What are you afraid of in life?

Paul was going to share the word of God in a city with unbelievers in the city of Corinth.

Corinth was known to be a pretty ruthless city.

It was full of sexual sins of every kind and was not a very holy place.

Yet while staying here, God says this to Paul in verses 9-10…

“Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”

Even in a city like Corinth, God has many people there.

This would be kinda like Vegas.

Even though it’s still called sin city there are Christians there trying to change the city.

God gives Paul the ability to stay bold and not to fear.

God is with Paul.

God can be with you with what you are going through in life.

You do not have to be afraid.

Jesus loves you and even through the worst of times you are going through in life, he loves you.

He cares for you, thinks of you as one of his own.

While tough times will happen, it’s nice to have the love of God with you.

What do you fear?

What are you scared of?

Know this.

God can be with you.

God wants to be there for you.

It just requires you calling out to him.

What do you think?

Have a great day.
