Circling The Drain

  As I slowly start to circle the drain my thoughts and my focus become more intent on the tightening spiral in which I am caught.  I have discovered that Judgment Day is a two-part event: the particular judgment and the last or general judgment. 

  The first…at the time of your death…you are given the verdict.  You get a “thumbs up” or a “thumbs down”.  This is done discreetly in the private confines of the judge’s chambers.  While the second part, the general or final judgment is held at an IMAX with the whole world present.  The entire movie of your life is shown for everyone to see.  Your each and every action… good and bad…is detailed in “High Def Technicolor” and how the domino effect impacts every person on the planet.

  The verdict…first and second time…is the same but I can see that the second time is going to be very embarrassing.  I get a bit flushed when I think about it.

  Dear Lord Jesus

This is the day my eyes open wide

As to the ways of my foolish pride

Direct my actions today I plea

To make a movie that pleases Thee.

Amen
