Happily ever after in the after life? What?

Why do I even watch tv? I just finished watching this movie about a gladiator who at the end dies and walks down a wheat field to meet his already dead wife and child. I think this movie has been out for several years so if I just ruined the plot for you sorry about that. Anyway, he just opens a big wooden door and goes through a wheat field and voila happily ever after in the after life. Where is that in the Scriptures? Where does it say we will rejoin our previous life already in progress. Honestly, this is why I have the $6.00 cable package, which by the way comes with about 14 shopping channels and all of 10 regular stations. Think of a world where your understanding of heaven came from movies. Well, here's the truth. The only way people are going to know what heaven is all about for real is for us to tell them. Yes, witnessing is what that was called in the 70's and 80's. Sharing is what we call it now and pretty much NOT doing it is what is happening in this century. Although today I was out on my walk and I noticed a well dressed women with a purse over her arm walking in high heels in my neighborhood. Ringing door bells before 10 am. She looked a little like June Cleaver. I thought well she is not Baptist because Baptist women don't go out alone and knock on doors. And then it hit me. Here is someone who is deceived about Christ out knocking on doors to share the untruth and here I am in the same neighborhood with a powerful message of truth, freedom in Christ and heaven and I am not "sharing". Yeah, my big knocking on a door was to tell Marc, go ring that doorbell because these people's car has been running for over 20 minutes, and I think they left it on. Yup more concerned about gas milage than heaven.
Well, this is Pastor Susan, Living the Everyday Prophetic Life and thinking about what that means in the EVERYDAY!

Summer Blessings

I feel like a kid who just got out of school for the summer. Yes, it is finally happening. Marc and I are taking the summer off from the pulpit and the pastorate of our little church. I am giddy with excitement. Now that doesn't mean that I won't miss our little congregation and our awesome worship and Marc's amazing preaching but come on now...Woo HOO! we get to travel, seek God on a personal level and get some much deserved rest. Yes, as much rest as you can get while working a full time job but rest nonetheless. Sunday was an amazing service. We licensed three new ministers of the Gospel. We passed out symbolic keys and we rejoiced in the Lord in the newness of what He is doing at PromiseChurch. Pastors Justin and Jaclyn Russell of Cloud and Fire Ministries are taking the helm for the summer and we could not be more grateful to them. We know that our flock is in good hands and we can't wait to see the favor of the Lord on this season in their lives. As for us, well you never know where we will pop into church this summer. But I will try to post it on my blog or on my Facebook page, which you can request me a friend by oklahoma_sweetheart_roses@yahoo.com That is my email address! Well be blessed, it just feels like I am running in the grass with bare feet or on the sand or well you get the idea..
