Three Random Thoughts

            I love driving long distances.  The miles seem to relax me, the distractions and challenges seem less important, and often new perspectives come as the odometer continues to roll.

            Sometimes I’m thinking about the job, sometimes my social life (or lack thereof), often about my vehicles, and yes…sometimes about the Lord.  Here are three musings written on a scrap of paper while rolling down the Interstate:

• Jesus did not come to earth to make bad people good; He came to make dead people alive!
   
• Satan wants us to look back and see our mistakes; God wants us to look forward to His promises for our lives.  Satan wants us to fester on all that we don’t have; God wants us to recognize and be grateful for what we do have.  These are our choices to make.
   
• Satan has been referred to as “The Great Deceiver.”  Not only do I agree with that, I think that he does a great job at it.  So great that he has deceived himself into thinking that he’ll ultimately win.  But I know the end of the story and he doesn’t!!!
