YOU IN THE MULTIVERSE

 


Lately, there have been a host of multiverse movies.  In them, the many versions of a person live different lives on different timelines.  There was:

The Chris Pine version of Star Trek (I LOVE Chris Pine), the animated Spiderman into the Spiderverse, The Avengers Endame, and most recent Best Picture winner, Everthing, Everywhere, All at Once.

For the most part, movies about the multiverse are not my thing…but today I came across an interesting post that made me think, “WE ALL (sort of) EXIST IN A MULTIVERSE!!!”  It was a thought that has been messing with my brain a little.

You see, the YOU that is you, the YOU that you know, is not the same YOU that is known by your parents, your siblings, your friends, your boss, you co-workers, or your spouse.  Everyone’s version of WHO YOU ARE differs a little bit from everyone else’s.

It is strange to think that NO ONE knows the real you.

No one… EXCEPT God.

My Bible tells me:

There is nothing I do that He doesn’t see:

“You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.” – Psalms 139:1-4

“Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account” – Hebrews 4:13

He even knows the things I’ve kept hidden from the world:

“God, you know every sin I've committed; My life's a wide-open book before you.” – Psalms 69:5 (MSG)

And even though He knows me fully, He loves me any way.

“But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.” – Psalms 86:15

I like the thought that I can be myself with God, and that even when that SELF does things that might disappoint Him, He loves me anyway.

The Journey to the Cross (Day 4 - THE LADDER)

Image
In the city of Jerusalem stands a church called  The Church of the Holy Sepulcher.   It has been proposed as the place of both the death and resurrection of Jesus, and it has been a place for pilgrimages since the 4th century. Considered holy, the site is cared for by no less than six denominations including Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Roman Catholic, Coptic, Ethiopian and Syriac Orthodox.  As such, it has been carefully parsed out into sections.  And sadly, arguments and violent clashes are not uncommon. Jim visited the church once on a trip with Northridge and told me about "The Immovable Ladder".  Apparently the ladder is a " bizzare outcome of religious stubbornness pushed to extremes. " For " Sometime in the first half of the 18th century, someone placed a ladder up against the wall of the church. No one is sure who he was, or more importantly, to which sect he belonged.  The ladder remains there to this day.  No one dares touch it, l...

Petition for Prayers

Image
Hi there - today is my 400th post and I am wrestling a bit... so I'm asking for your prayers. I started this blog o ver a year ago, convinced it was something God wanted me to do.  It was way out of my comfort zone, and certainly not something I’d have done 10 years before, but  I had hoped that i n some way, it might help people get closer to Him. I knew that once I had finally given my life to God, EVERYTHING in my life changed, and  I desperately wanted people to experience the same JOY and PEACE I have felt since making that decision.   As they say, “I was like a poor beggar telling others where they could find food”. For months, the posts flowed easily and I would feel the Holy Spirit's inspiration…the words on the page practically writing themselves.  However, I'm not sure that is still the case.  Sometimes I feel as if I am struggling to hear His voice, and I honestly don't want to be writing MY thoughts - I want to be sharing HIS. So, I'm going to t...

The Journey to the Cross (Day 3 - ONLY JESUS)

Image
Today’s Holy Week post has me thinking about the 12 disciples. ONLY JESUS Can you name Jesus' 12 disciples?  If you've been watching The Chosen or reading your Bible regularly, you might be able to.  However - there are some, who - at least for me, are a bit in the shadows. Sure I know Simon/Peter, and his brother Andrew .  And then there was James and John, the sons of Thunder (or Zebedee to be exact).  There was Matthew, and Thomas, and Judas Iscariot.  And there was Simon the Zealot, and another James...but...but...a nd here is where my mind isn't as good at remembering.   So I Googled it. There was also Philip - a Jewish man from Bethsaida who apparently was the one to tell Nathaniel (another lesser known disciple) that "The One" Moses and the prophets had foretold in the Old Testament, was here.  Following Jesus' death Philip became a missionary in Greece and for his outspoken faith proclaiming Jesus as the Son of God - Philip was stoned and...
