Intuitions

I am sometimes 'intuitive'. It is usually based on physical evidence of some sort and I am sometimes wrong in my intuitions, but for the most part my intuitions tend to be accurate. I have made some spectacular errors. I once completely misinterpreted someone's body language and manner of speech and ended up apologizing. I did it in email. Even though I knew I was wrong, I did not want to talk to him, so I sent an email apology. I do not know if he ever received it or forgave me because he never responded. It's entirely possible he did not really want to talk to me either, which is fine and it kind of makes me laugh now. Not sure why.

The most baffling of my intuitions though are the ones for which I have no physical evidence. For example, once during prayer and while praying for the health of my parents, I received an insight, almost a voice in my head, that it would become my job to take care of my Dad. This was 5 years before my Mom died. On another occasion, I was drifting between sleep and wakefulness and this intuition came more as a thought that I should already know. It was very sobering as the full brunt of it hit my frontal lobe. Suddenly I knew that in only a very short time after my Dad passes, I will die. As before, there was no indication of when those events would come to pass, but you can bet that I am doing my best to keep Dad healthy and motating! The process is getting more and more difficult though as time goes on. This is the way of all life.

If events do not unfold this way, I am, of course, good with that. But if they do, be sure to tell everyone I predicted it. I suppose I could check out first. This would create some problems for Dad I think. If the Lord does it that way, I hope he will have willing people on hand to take charge of the situation. What am I saying? I have control freaks on both sides of the family that would be more than willing to step in. What am I worried about? Heaven awaits either way for both of us. Good times are ahead.   

The Sun, The Moon and the Spring

 


On March 20th, Northern Europe will enjoy a three way celestial event that has not happened in 100,000 years, which to my mind means, it has never happened before. There will be a total eclipse, a super moon and the vernal equinox all on the same day. It should be a spectacular day astronomically speaking.

I'm sure that there will be crowds of would be Druids at Stonehenge and other pagan sites and in other places there will be dispensationalist and premillennial Christians hunkered down in anticipation of the parousia.  

Me? I will be at work. I don't think anything other than a spectacular light show will be underway and since I am in North America, I won't get to see the eclipse, except on TV. Hope to sleep through the super moon too.

It's common thought among many Christians that these are signs in the heavens that portend God's coming judgement or some other major historical event. While I'm good with that if it's what you want to believe, there is nothing I can do about the cosmic activities of God except wait. Since waiting is unproductive, I think I'll work or sleep or eat or something. If He makes an appearance, I will be ready and if He does not, I will talk to Him the next morning.

The older I get, the more useless I think the study of eschatology is. It is very interesting, but so is the study of UFO's. My philosophy at present is that I am saved, I am ready, let 'er rip if you like. Otherwise, I think I'll go fishing. It's gonna be Spring ya know.

Lord, I hope what I just wrote does not offend you. I just like the element of surprise. Personally, I can't wait to see your smiling face, but it's going to be a terrible day for many people and I would just as soon you give them every chance possible to come to you in faith. I can wait. Death is not that far off for me. I can wait. Lord, it's good to be in Your family even when you're away. See you soon. Love you.
