I have an appointment!

Today . . . Good morning friends.  Yes, I have a strong desire to begin sharing my thought about life.  I heard a story today that I did not expected to hear.  This story is driving the context of my thoughts at this moment.  I want each reader to know that I am going to DIE. Yes, I know . . . It is the last book on my personal thought shelf. The thing right before death on the same shelf, is my student loan. I keep those two together and live like they are not part of my reality.  Many people call this process DENIAL.  So, now that I have uncovered death, and my relationship with our imminent appointment.  Now, my intention is not driven to be morbid, but to recognize that this date could happen at any moment.  With this reality in mind, I pose this simple question.  Please, in all seriousness, say my name.  Timothy Stotler.  That is the name given to me at my birth 50+ years ago.  When you say my name, is there any tinge of thought to the negative?  Have I hurt you, offended you, or need to make amends with you?  I know that I have wronged people in my lifetime, I have done my best to walk in restoration with those in my life.  It is my hope to finish life well, with all debts forgiven and no wrong unaccounted for, within reason.  Please, if you find a stone unturned in regard to this post, please contact me at 248-444-9825 or at tidi23@juno.com and allow me an opportunity to apologize. Please do not wait until it is too late.  Here are a few verses that are driving my thoughts . . .

“A good name is to be more desired than great wealth, Favor is better than silver and gold.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22:1‬ ‭NASB‬‬

“A good name is better than a good ointment, And the day of one's death is better than the day of one's birth.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:1‬ ‭NASB‬‬

“Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4:14‬ ‭NASB‬‬

“And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:27-28‬ ‭NASB‬‬

With the thoughts contained in the above verses, I ask you to consider my relationship with you.  Beyond our relationship, I ask you to allow the Holy Spirit to do the amazing work he does in your heart, mind and soul in regard to other relationships.  You know the ones.  Yep, the ones you are pushing out of your mind at the mere mention of this type of topic.  Listen to the spirit, and make the necessary moves.

“Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:23-24‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Listen . . .do not wait.  Make things right as much as possible. Enjoy your today.  And know, I am blessed because you have been part of my life story.

Peace

50 and back . . .

Hello to each of you. I have been away way too long.  I had to find my log on again.  I am going to be making adjustments to my blog in the near future.  I invite you back to see what is happening. . .
