"IT'S OUR FIRST DAY ON THE NEW JOB!"

                                                                           

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

ST. LOUIS MO..... Newlyweds, Christopher Watkins and Tonya Gonzalez-Suarez, never knew what hit them.

 In the twinkling of an eye their souls departed their physical bodies and they were swept away to stand before The Righteous Judge and give an account of everything they had done in their physical bodies.....while they had the time.

The couple was killed when a boiler exploded at the Loy-Lange Box Co., went airborne and came crashing down through the roof of Faultless Healthcare Linen Co. - some 500 feet away -. The couple was filling out paperwork to start The New Job.

We are all going to leave here. There is no parking down here. We didn't come here to stay. Dying is inevitable . Obviously, we all know this.

 Since death is assured, the conversation has to be, not if we die, but how we die, and also how we choose to live.

Seeing that no one knows the exact time or day when our spirit will be sucked away from us, thoughtful individuals may be pondering the question, is it better to live a life following vain thoughts and participating in vain deeds or is it far better to follow righteous dictates of the heart?

Should we be living a life treating everybody exactly like we want to be treated or should we care less about others, and their feelings?

Realizing that at any minute, any second, BREATH, can be snatched away from us, just because the God that created us feels like snatching our breath away, should make us all more caring for one another.

You would think that because we don't get to decide our day of death, that should be, reason enough for us to chose righteousness over unrighteousness, peace over war, love over hate, humbleness over vanity, and truth over lies, everyday, in all our daily affairs.

 It would appear that once we realize and recognize who is in complete control of this whole world and everybody in it we would gain a new prospective, a new outlook, concerning life and living.

It would seem that after we grow into the knowledge and understanding that God is a spirit that operates in truth - through people - we would make some major adjustments in our behavior, conduct, and character.

 Certainly, once we reach that enlightened stage of development in our thinking.... our actions will change.

 Spiritual growth demands that we step out of religious practices and start to walk into our righteous mind..... we return to a God mind.

Everything that God has created or made obeys God, except humans. 

Humans are the only living creature on the planet that deviates from the ordained ordinances of it's Creator.

Religion, instead of being  a tool to be used to guide us back to God, instead of being used to guide us to a point of conversion where we evolve into the God we are professing, has made us slaves to the practice of religion, and not replica's of the God we claim to know. 

In historical Hebrew writings ascribed to the Apostle Paul, he makes it abundantly clear that once we reach that pinnacle and pedestal of evolution our spiritual selves desire to abandon this life, because we have reached the peak where our only desire is to become reconnected, totally, with the Creator.

We become human and divine and we stay in our physical form only for the benefit of others.  We live our lives only to help God's people which are lost - find the way - and to edify those that have made a righteous decision to live born again lives with a renewed mind and consciousness.

According to people that knew Christopher Watkins, 46, and Tonya Gonzales-Suarez, 43, they were inseparable. A triumphant duo always striving to do a little good, whenever and wherever, they could.

They had both gone through years of drama and disappointments in there lives but the start of the new year gave them new found hope. They were best friends, who fell in love, got married, and dedicated their lives to be like Christ. They didn't talk too much about the problems that they had which led them to the church program, instead they focused on how far they had come in recent months.

The church member who told them about the New Job opportunity was filling out his paperwork also when the "bomb-like boiler" came crashing through the roof. He was in critical condition......he lived one more day....then he died.

Tonya was so proud that she and her husband hand landed the New Jobs. She even posted a picture on Facebook moments before they went inside the facility with the words, "It's Our First Day On The New Job!" 

Wow.....not really. 

They had been making earthly preparations for a heavenly occupation for a long, long, time.

Ironically, early on the Friday morning following their transition,  the US military fired 59 Tomahawk missiles at the Shayrat air field in response to a suspected chemical attack that week that had been widely blamed on the Damascus regime.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that the POTUS is taking a "get tuff attitude" with Syria and he really doesn't care what Russia's military think about it.

Sounds like war is on the horizon.

Taking into account all the perpetual evil and darkness engulfing this present world who wouldn't desire to be swept away to a better place to be with God? No matter where that place is perceived to be in your own mind; tell me who wouldn't want to go?

I want to go.

Don't get me wrong, I ain't in no hurry to go....I just want to go. Whenever and wherever God calls, I just want to be ready when he calls my name.

And you know what? I am ready.

How do I know? Because I live like I'm ready.                                                

And the good thing is that if I continue to make preparations, day by day, minute by minute, and moment by moment, to stay ready.......... I can go.

I'm living so I can be ready for "My First Day On The New Job."

Further more, I have enough knowledge about our Creator to know that as long as I stay embedded in truth and righteousness I can go instantaneously.

I can go just like Christopher and Tanya; or like Martin Luther King, or Malcolm X, or Medger Evers, or the Rev. Andrew Lee Smith. I can even die like Christ.

Marvel not: ye must be born again.
