A Place To Be March 19, 2015
In My Fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:2
A thousand strands of time, events, and people weave into a tapestry we call place. More than just a house, place is where meaning, belonging, and safety come together under the covering of our best efforts at unconditional love. Place beckons us with memories buried deep in our souls. Even when our place isnt perfect, its hold on us is dramatic, magnetic.
The Bible speaks frequently of place. We see an example in Nehemiahs longing for a restored Jerusalem (Neh. 1:3-4; 2:2). Its no surprise, then, that Jesus would speak of place when He wants to comfort us. Let not your heart be troubled, He began. Then He added: I go to prepare a place for you (John 14:1-2).
For those who have fond memories of earthly places, this promise links us to something we can easily understand and look forward to. And for those whose places have been anything but comforting and safe, Jesus promises that one day they will hear the sweet song place sings, for they will inhabit it with Him.
Whatever the struggle, whatever the faltering on your faith journey, remember this: Theres a place in heaven already waiting, fitted just for you. Jesus wouldnt have said so if it werent true.
Jesus, I cant wait to live in the home You have prepared for me. Thank You that no matter what my earthly place holds, comfort or pain, my home with You will be so much better.
May the memory of our earthly place point us with hope to our heavenly place.
: Todays passage contains a beautiful insight into what makes our future in heaven so wonderful. In verse 9, Nehemiah quotes Moses saying that God will bring His people into the place where His name dwells. It is Gods presence that makes our future worth waiting for.

To: Publius
I did enjoy it very much. It was new music for me, so I benefited greatly from your commentary!
I spent the evening OD’ing on Wagner.
I really don’t like Bayreuth’s recent staging...too “modern”. Tristan and Isolde looks like it’s taking place in an old mental hospital.
I like the winged-helmets, brass bras, spear-carrying kind of Wagner!
The Met’s recent Valkyries have great costumes, but fly in on giant I-Beams that turn into playground slides.
Yuk.

Good evening, Pro...((HUGS))...wheelchair, dubbed, "Reginald", Reggie for short, will be delivered on Thursday about 3pm. I'll leave work early to be there.
The deliver guys will have a good time getting it up the stairs. 6 stairs up to the porch, then 9 stairs up.
I can't wait!!
