DUST

DUST I decided to clean my house . Even more tired and wanting to enjoy the Sabbath is to rest ... But duty called me ! And THAT , duty ! ... Rs Days without sweeping and dusting Nor will I explain the whys - think what they want ... Finally got to the age where they do not give more importance to the opinion of others ... But working out 10 hours a day and be a pastor and writer in the early morning is not easy ... As my mother would say : " No one pays my bills ... " Well anyway , the reason text is provided to DUST . Where did she come from? As it enters the house with the windows and doors closed ? ( Like say Sergio Chapelin ) For where she goes I know . Two options . Top three : 1 - My nose , starting now known allergic rhinitis 2 - My lungs , poking the old asthma. 3 - The garbage when I have the grace of God and the weather to clear . I choose the third option and you ? Dust ... Invisible to our eyes most of the time. Uncomfortable , unfair , illegal for our health , annoying, subtle , opportunistic , sadistic and everything. When it accumulates prevents us from seeing the glow of the golden translucency of the glass , the nuances of wood, things as they really are ... So then you might be thinking ... Okay . I know all about dust or almost all, because this text is far from a scientific monograph on " pulvis esquisitus trabalhandus " which is the " scientific name " of that which ... lol Calm down, I go back to the text ... Remember that besides the dust anxiety also hurt the health ... rs Well , seeing this inglorious work every day having to sweep , or better , vacuuming , wet mop and dusting in addition to give a sparkle in mobile ... dust , spent conjecture about sin and temptation . No, do not laugh . It is much like yes . The temptations are stalking us day and night. Are invisible , have greater or lesser degree but do the same damage in us and in the eyes of God . Sin is like the dust that accumulates in our soul . The enemy is subtle , quiet ( the famous cotton slipper - remember? ) And has more than 2000 years and the man who knows where he can launch his " dust " and make it accumulate in each of us . Knows our weaknesses and attack mercilessly and themselves. If we let the dust Satanic ( sin ) accumulate in our soul , then we lose the brightness of the Faith translucides a clear conscience , the beauty of open smile and lots more ... mainly peace of mind ! The accumulated dust of sin becomes a nest of " mites " called demons . That suck our energies give us breathlessness , let us get to the point of confusion and despair . Interesting that in the Garden of Eden where everything began , God created Adam from dust and after the fall God told the devil crawl and eat the dust of the earth : " Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all the beast , and more than all the beasts of the field upon thy belly shalt thou , and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life . " - Genesis 3:14 That is, the devil feeds on man's sins . On the other hand , looking at the object point full of dust , this "object " dusty eventually can no longer " see " the one who takes care of him , just because he could not feel her love and begin to believe the lie of the devil himself Lord forgot to stay in a dusty corner ... It was not God who forgot , even though he was not cared for every day . For alluding a new manna for each day (Exodus 16 ) every day we must feed on the Word of God and pray and grow spiritually discern quickly when we sin and we fix one redeeming immediately communion with the Lord . For after the cross of Calvary we are not alone , " God knows that we are dust . " - Psalm 103:14 and " ... And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father , Jesus Christ the righteous . " - 1 John 2:1 So , God bless you and I going to get my broom ... I will not fly, of course! rs ... because I am redeemed and washed in the blood of JESUS ​​! In JESUS , that talk to me up in the middle of a cleaning ( Caio Fábio paraphrasing ) ... Tania Guahyba Someday 2013.

EXTENDED TIME

There are roughly 40 years old, my sister at the time was engaged to a boy (with whom he later married), whose sister was nuclear physics (family super intelligent and cultured) in the United States and later in Brazil. I remember well that even then, she and her husband, also a nuclear physicist, said that the earth was coming off its axis "n" millimeters per "n" time (sorry, I do not remember the values ​​- meaning recorded), which meant that the time was decreasing gradually ... After this, many earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes erupting, solar storms, nuclear tests, missile wars and its falling on the ground, shaking the ground structure is increasingly ... and I got older ... rs. Opens parentheses. The other day I walked into a library (feeling the "Nemo" was when Ocean) and began to see the books ... "This've read, I've read this, this also ... Gosh! How many books I've read, outside those'm not seeing!? "I started meditating in old age (I'm still not) and the wealth of information and wisdom that books give us (Thanks, Mom, for passing me this addiction, I mean , love of books) ... What for, if no one listens anymore? Each toward his own experience to transform into "wisdom" ... Since intelligence is to learn from their mistakes and wisdom is learning from the mistakes of others - for books that ... It was then that I decided to write back on my Blog, and read someone who knows and likes change and grow, or critique that I grow more?! Closes parentheses. Returning to the theme! These memories make me wonder what is happening with the weather today ... When we look at the clock is already noon when scared is already midnight ... And we did not plan or HALF of what we needed ... And today we have super-fast cars, muuuuitos bus, subway, taxi (luxury when I was little) machines: washing, drying, ironing steam. We have microwave, employed (some), gardeners, cooks, housekeepers, walkways (some other). Internet does not need to go to the supermarket or the post office, not the banks, not ... No, the day has twenty-four hours! But yes, the clock continues to set hour by hour ... This is a mystery that only God could do as Jesus said he would do: "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." - Matthew 24:22 Generally what scientists discover, or GOD WHO MADE. Jesus spoke this phrase for over 2000 years. There are 40 discovered about the axis of the earth moving and other "cocitas bad." I wonder scientists: "Oh! Look what I found! "Paleontologists:" Looks like they were! "Biologists (tribute to my daughter biologist):" Behold a new body! "Like children on a playground or pool sand ... and God up there (or even on their side) saying "peekaboo Rs ... I went to whoever did! Jokes aside, the man is a taxi ... Okay what you think (sorry, could not resist ... lol). The man thinks he knows everything and knows everything, and in some cases even dares to challenge God, or even say that He does not exist. Every man should be more humble. Just remember that EVERYTHING he knows, or learned from someone or read in some book. Even the great ancient thinkers, their ideas (GOOD) came not from himself, his thoughts or ruminations, but came from God who always wanted his children to grow and make others grow as well. Returning to the theme, again, God made man an instruction manual. The Bible. In it we are shown God's plan for man before the fall, and the new plans for God after the fall. It is presented to us as Jesus ONLY savior of mankind. But also God's justice for those who "do not enter through the door strict and not let others enter." God is good? Sure, yeah, no doubt. Among the many proofs of love, most of them were let His only Son to die for humanity so dehumanized by sin, that He extended the time of judgment (and all its pains and horrors) so that those who are in doubt, those deceived, those who are blinded by the limelight, STILL have time to repent, change and commitment. This text, which I believe is already two years ago in the head (today's delivery, rs). The image that the Holy Spirit gave me was "Extended Time" as the toys of "arcade" where you get a bit more time to maybe win the whole game. Not that God is playing with us already notice atheists on duty! But it was a metaphor of the text that he wanted me to write. EXTENDED TIME! For me, after the death and resurrection of Jesus is one of the greatest proofs of love ("and" patience) of God for us mortals. Soli Deo Gloria Tania Guahyba
