I think some of us have a vision problem... ... Depending on the individual severity, the number of symptoms and their effects   due to Persistently Recurring Human Myopia  can vary greatly, but some of us definitely have a vision problem. Some are fooled into embracing this life as though it's the life that God intends for us, but it's not. And some may forego the life eternal in favor of it and its perishing passions instead of recognizing the true power, passion and plan of The God who created  heaven and earth and everything in them. His plan for us is invested in a life beyond this one, but the choice to hear Him and submit to that plan is ours. "  ‘Now see that I, even I, am He, a nd there is no God besides Me;  I kill a...
