A single way?


As you may have guessed, I enjoy working with computers (most of the time).  I have seen IBM PC, XT, AT, 286, 386, 486, and now I5 systems (I think they now have I7 and higher as well).  Software has changed too; remember starting up your computer and then 5 to 10 minutes later being greeted with nothing but a flashing place marker.  Today, I not only run Windows 7, but am learning Linux Ubuntu as well (and love it). I can only imagine what the next decade (or hopefully, several decades) will bring.  But whatever the future may hold, I am sure I will be learning something new and exciting; but, I have to be willing to learn.  Isn't that what life is all about...learning.  But, its the things you learn that are important and that depends on who you listen to.  Here is someone we all should listen to; and with very good reason.... your life depends upon it...
 
Mark 9:2-7 (WEB)
2) After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
3) His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4) Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5) Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6) For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
7) A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”

Religiously, you are who you will obey.  If its your own will, you are a humanist or an atheist or an agnostic.  If its the Pope, you are Catholic and so on.  We all have to decide what our standard is for the hope of eternal life.  Personally, give me Jesus... every time.  Open the Bible, reproduce what you find in the New Testament and have a good day and an even better afterlife.  Each and every day we have a decision to make... will I faithfully follow Jesus or go some other way?  Good question and for me a simple choice.  How about you?
