Second Chances

 I have been reading and thinking a lot lately.

Most recently, hell, is there a second chance once we die and haven't accepted Christ?

It made sense to me that when you died without acknowledging that you have been saved, you would go to hell.

Not the hell of fire and brimstone, but of the concept of the total separation of God for eternity.

But then in my reading a couple things hit me like a sledgehammer between the eyes.

God is omnipresent, He is everywhere all of the time especially inside of us, so we can never be separated from Him, even in Hell.

And, He is a God of love and a God of second chances.

I am still not sure how I feel about this concept, but God is a God of love, compassion, mercy, always there for us.

And He is not like us when it comes to love, etc., He is an example of it that we cannot comprehend, it is that strong.

If you are like me, your first reaction to this is that it is wrong because, more often than not, that is how we are raised and led to believe and it makes complete sense.

But God's love doesn't make sense if you think about it enough.

And maybe that's what I have done here.

Humanity Matters

Illegal immigration...it's a problem. A major problem.

Two million illegals are coming into our country every year and they're entering other countries in Europe also.

How do I feel about it?

I mean, how can I be so against immigration and I am not especially legal immigration because at some point my ancestors felt same way these people are and hopped on a ship out of Europe.

I've benefitted from it.

But can we take them all?

No.

And even those who support illegal immigration have a point in which they are against it.

Unfortunately,  humans have become political pawns, but we've seen that everyone has a point of "it's too much".

As Texas and Florida have sent many of these people coming in illegally to places that were willing to let them come into our country, as they started to tax their area, they've changed their minds.

From Martha's Vineyard to sanctuary city New York, the politically supportive of open borders, suddenly change their minds when they are inconvenienced.

What do we do about it?

Well, we either have borders or we don't.

We have laws or we don't.

So I am supportive of laws beings enforced with our borders, but I am also supportive of helping the less fortunate.

Yea, I guess I'm not really taking a stand, I just want consistency from those who are in charge or support those in charge.

I want The Right to be more like Jesus in their dealing with this issue, and I want The Left to understand it's a major problems and their hypocrisies are shining through also.

Will that solve the problem?

How many problems are actually solved?

I just want logical empathy to rule the day and not for human beings to be used as political pawns...

By anyone.
