Remembering the Past.

2008

At the beginning of every year my mind wanders back to the past.
That may be a sign of getting old?
(I guess it could be worse – I could try to think back and NOT remember!)

Things like this often come up:
ü What ever happened to my ’64 Corvair?
ü I wonder what happened to my Hoover High football jersey - number 34?
ü Will Iowa have a Great football team this year?
(Let’s all stop now and pray! … Hey, that wasn’t long enough!)
ü I wonder if that girl, I dated in ’68, ever found out that I ran over her cat, just before I came to pick her up? (Yes, it happened! … And NO, I never told her!)
ü I wonder if anyone is still using Storm Lake Bible Camp?
ü I wonder what ever happened to Gene Zwernekowski? (My old college room mate.)

The exciting thing is, if I really wanted to, every one of these things could be followed up and answered. (Well, maybe not predetermining the Hawkeye’s football season.)

So now I wonder ….
If we don’t’ act upon the things that tug at our hearts, will we ever come to a day that we are filled with REGRETS?

June 1956
I am so thankful that one day, in the summer of ’56, I felt a tug in my heart – that tug was God. That was the day that I asked Him into my heart and He changed everything. Now, I am FORGIVEN. (I am currently being processed into His likeness. My life is being adjusted to Heaven’s standard.)

You too can respond to the tug in your heart. Just ask Him to come in and forgive you.
Don’t take any regrets into the future – make that decision today.

God offers you a “Do Over”. That will be the best offer you ever get in 2008!
