HERE AND THERE
HERE AND THERE

One moment we were sitting on a shady porch in wicker rockers, with big
old shade trees surrounding us. Next moment we were at one of the
busiest, bustliest car rental places in the country, Atlanta airport,
on a holiday weekend. Here, there. It was more than a "moment", yet it
seemed so fast.
Here, there. With air travel, we are here, and shortly, we are there -
across the country or even halfway 'round the world. With computers, we
type off an electronic note at home or the office, and instantly it is
there.
With banking, our money is in our account; then we wire it, and
momentarily, it is there. We buy or sell a home, sign an agreement
here, and right away we own it there. Here, there. A moment, a
twinkling.
There's a saying, two things are certain in life: death and taxes.
Life, death. Here, there. Now we are here, then we will be there. The
good news is that there is life in death.
Jesus said we could be where He is - not was, or will be. Just before
Jesus left this world, He told His friends He was going away, and would
prepare a place for us,so we could come there,too (John 14:2-3). He
also said, "Because I live, you also will live." (John 14:19)
Here, there........thats good news for all who believe in the saving
grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
