“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; August 14, 2008

          I have been a Texas Rangers fan for the past 30 years.  In fact, I am such a fan (and my wife is such a good sport) that on our first wedding anniversary we were sitting in Arlington Stadium.  I have fond memories the old stadium, a AAA ball park that was revamped to accommodate a major league team.  The old ballyard had metal seats what warmed up nicely in the 100 degree heat and grass that seemed to melt away during the latter part of the season.  Frankly, it wasn’t much compared to the state of the art new “Rangers Ballpark in Arlington”, but it was what we knew.

          When we consider our lives here on earth, it hard to think about anything any better.  Intellectually, we know that the eternal life that exists on the other side of death is much better than this one; but, we struggle with living in the future because we only know the here and now.  This world will do for now; but, let’s not forget that what awaits us is a state of the art life that represents the perfection of God.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
