From Grass to Grace

The more I view life, the more I am convinced that it islike a journey. Everyone is on a journey, with some goingupwards, while others are headed downwards. Life's journey is a reflection of amovie with many scenes and various characters. Each character plays his or herpart and gives way. In contrast to the stage, where a character may play differentroles in various dramas at different times and occasions, life pre-sents an individual with limited chances of playing variousparts. In the real sense, it is either you are going up oryou are com-ing down. As I journey, I see interesting persons playing life's cards. Some individuals think of life in terms of jackpots. It is agame you win or lose, a game of chance. What do you thinkabout life? How does life treat you? How far is your journey?Are you descending or ascending? I do not need an answerfrom you, but I must let you know this one Truth-When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then heplaced his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. Iam the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I wasdead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I holdthe keys of death and Hades." (Rev-elation 1: 17-19NAS)
