We all know and talk about the mountains and the valleys we travel on this earthly journey we call life. The high times on the mountain when life is good and we seem to not have a care in the world and then the times of burdens and despair to down right tragic life experiences in the valley. Yes...life can be like a roller coaster in regards to feelings and emotions and our overall outlook on life. Ive heard it said so many times about life that we are either coming out of adversity...living some sort of adversity...or...heading into adversity all down in the valley and in between those times we stand up on that mountain top enjoying life but also looking down on adversity. Now..i dont mean that in a negative or glass half empty way...its just "often" a way of life for this season or the other. Life itself can hand us many problems but all so often we can be our own worst enemy in taking the wrong road when we come to decision making time at that proverbial fork in the road. i think about my 25 years of booze and drugs and even though im sure i had more good times than i remember...i know the reality of that helter skelter life that had me in the valley most every day...clawing at the foot of the mountain especially those last fifteen years and not only did i not make any head way....i actually was clawing and digging a hole in that valley deeper and deeper headed right into the fire pits of hell...and...all the while my best friend satan at that time was cheering me on as i had lost all hope of ever seeing another sober day and i knew that death and hell was soon to consume me either from my addiction or by my own hand as i had become all physically, emotional, mentally and especially spiritually...a total train wreck! i dont care what anyone says...i know for a fact with or without an addiction...living life "thinking" all is well when in fact living life without Jesus...there is no hope...cause ive been there done that and ill tell you something else straight up...sitting on the fence with one leg in heaven and the other leg in hell is just as bad cause i can guarantee you when the final buzzer sounds...hell will consume you! The only hope in this life here on planet earth is a relationship with Jesus...and...its thru that relationship with Jesus that gives us our ONLY hope when this body dies. With Jesus its heaven...without Jesus its hell...Think about it!
