The Man who changed the timeline.

Thinking about all the ancient religions and all the gods that have come and gone, I know of only one who actually had such an impact that He changed the calendar, which separated the ancient from the new.  There was only one who caused the timeline to be separated because of Him.  There is no other that has done this.  He had such a profound impact on the lives of people in His time and it continues on to this day.

Imagine: born in a stable raised a carpenter’s son, had chores he had to do and probably assisted with the family business as he grew up.  Participated in all the family gatherings, played with other children, just a regular kid.  He went to church on the Sabbath with his family, celebrated the holidays, just a regular person.

Then one day he gets baptized by his cousin and is called to go preach to the people, give them the good news and He goes and does what he is called to do.  And what he preaches and teaches has changed the world.  It has changed it so much, that time has been separated into BC and AC (before Christ and after Christ).   There is no other that has done this, none who has made such a change in history as Christ.

So I don’t know what all the fuss is about with unbelievers not wanting to celebrate this awesome persons birthday, who brought us such good news, that died for us and is able to give us such joy and peace if we only do what He ask.  Although we ourselves make it difficult, it really is not if we only allow Him to live his life through us and trust in Him.

Read the bible for yourself, especially the New Testament (gospel of John is a good place to start) and read about what the things he did and the things he taught, you just might be surprised.

Angels watching over me.

There are times that we are totally unaware that we are being protected by angels until well after the fact.  Years ago my son and I were visiting some friends; we lived in Florida at the time.  On the way home we were talking and listening to music on the radio.  The drive home was approximately 20 minutes max.     I suddenly realized I saw a street that I had never seen before and that it was a dirt road, that I don’t recall being there.

I realized I had missed my turn, but wasn’t sure how far I had gone.  The road I was on I knew ended at my road so I just continued to drive down instead of turning around to take the road I usually took.   The road we usually took to get home was right beside a potato field with a streetlight at the end.   I do recall seeing the potato field and the streetlight, however the road wasn’t there.

When I got home I told my husband I somehow missed the turn.  Wasn’t a big deal it was just odd that the road had completely disappeared, it had become part of the potato field.   Shortly after my son and I got home my husband was called out. (He was a homicide detective at the time).  I didn’t think much of it; I was used to him being called at all hours.  My son got ready for bed, gave him a snack then tucked him into bed.   I went about straitening up then I went to bed.  I didn’t expect to see my husband till the next morning or so.

When we talked the next day I found out that about the time I would’ve been driving down the road I missed my son and I would’ve been caught in the crossfire of a gun fight.   God sent his angels to turn that road into part of the potato field so my son and I wouldn’t get hurt or possibly killed.  No one will ever convince me otherwise.

Angels watching over me my Lord, angels watching over me.
