Just ahead of them were two clergy, but St. Peter motioned them aside and took the internal revenue into heaven at once.

“Why them ahead of us?” the surprised religious leaders asked. “Haven’t we done everything possible to spread the good word?”

“Yes,” said St. Peter, “but those two IRS agents scared the Hell out of more people than you ever did!”

The effectiveness of an anti-virus depends upon the user, the users setup and the users computer usage. There is not one security software out there that will be 100 percent effective. If the user does not follow safe surfin rules they will get nasties, no matter how protected they were. If the user follow all the safe surfin rules, they will get very few (accidents do happen) to none at all. Unfortunately there is always something new in the nasty world that can bypass it until the software is updated.

Over the years I have used nortons, mcafees, avg, avast, avira, trendmicro, and now microsoft essentials. They all worked for me and they all kept my computer safe. I am currently using microsoft security essentials and malwarebytes on my computer and that is all I need.

After living a “decent” life my time on earth came to an end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a court house. The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table. As I looked around I saw the prosecutor,” he was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me, he definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.

I sat down and looked to my left and there sat my lawyer, a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed very familiar to me. The corner door flew open and there appeared the judge in full flowing robes. He commanded an awesome presence as he moved across the room and I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. As he took his seat behind the bench he said, “Let us begin.”

The prosecutor rose and said “My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in hell.” He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole and in the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke the further down in my seat I sank. I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t look at anyone, even my own lawyer, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely forgotten about. As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at my representative who sat there silently not offering any form of defense at all.

I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life — couldn’t that at least equal out part of the harm I’ve done Satan finished with a fury and said, “This man belongs in hell, he is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise. Justice will finally be served this day.”

When it was his turn, my lawyer first asked if he might approach the bench. The judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned him to come forward. As he got up and started walking I was able to see him now in his full splendor and majesty.

Now I realized why he seemed so familiar, this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Savior. He stopped at the bench and softly said to the judge, “Hi, Dad,” and then He turned to address the court. “Satan was correct in saying that this man had sinned, I won’t deny any of these allegations. And yes the wages of sins is death and this man deserves to be punished. ”

Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with out- stretched arms and proclaimed “However, I died on the cross so that this person might have eternal life and he has accepted Me as his Savior, so He is mine.” My Lord continued with “His name is written in the book of life and no one can snatch him from Me. Satan still does not understand, this man is not to be given justice but rather mercy.” As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at his Father and softly said “There is nothing else that needs to be done, I’ve done it all”.

The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down and the following words issued from His lips: “This man is free–the penalty for him has already been paid in full, case dismissed.”

As my Lord led me away I could hear Satan ranting and raving,”I won’t give up, I’ll win the next one. I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, “Have you ever lost a case?” Christ lovingly smiled and said “Everyone that has come to me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you, “Paid in Full.”

Other than that it has just been the same boring thing every day. I really hate living in Osceola, it is a small town with very little to do. Have to go to Blytheville or back to Jonesboro to find stuff to do. I should have known better since this is the third time moving to Osceola.

Oh well…

“Johnny wait until we say our prayer.” “I don’t have to,” The boy replied.

“Of course, you do,” his mother insisted. “We say a prayer, before eating, at our house.”

“That’s our house,” Johnny explained. “But this is Grandma’s house and she knows how to cook!”

Let me answer the question this way,

There once was a man who did not believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose again three days later. He required additional proof in order to believe. All of his friends said he was wrong and additional proof was not needed. One day, Jesus provided that addition proof and now that person believes with all his heart. His name was Thomas – remember him, he is also sometimes called Doubting Thomas. See John 20: 24-29

Today some people think it is way too easy to become a christian. They require additional proof for them to believe. I personally think that is why there are so many different denominations, Sometimes it takes that difference for the doubt to go away. The bible shows Jesus did not seem to mind that he had to do something different in order for Thomas to believe.

I know what I said is very controversial but it is what I believe.

How will you be remembered or will you be remembered? Will you be remembered as a happy person, sad person, angry person? Will you be remembered as a complainer, a mocker, a loner or a jerk? will you even be remembered? Will you be remembered as a good person, a bad person, a true friend, or even a Christian?

You will not be here to defend yourself, you will no longer exist, you are nothing, there is no self awareness, not one single bit of living essence because you are gone…but you will never know, because there is nothing left of you or is there?

Your family, your friends, your neighbours, your coworkers, everyone will slowly forget you. Life moves on without you. As years go by there will be nothing left to remember, nobody left to remember, you will be forgotten in history, even your tombstone will crumble but life moves on… what about you?

Anyway I sung solo for the first and the last time in my life at that time. It was a song I really like and to this day it still means a great deal to me.

The reason I mentioned it is I just ran across it in youtube being sung by the Gaithers so I decided to share it.

After explaining the commandment to “honor thy father and thy mother,” she asked, “Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?”

Without missing a beat one little boy answered, “Thou shall not kill.”
