} Prompt: Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. This is talking about the 1,000 year reign of Christ at the end of days. Explain the first resurrection and the second death. Eschatology or prophecies about the end times is not my strong point. I know there are at least three schools of thought, all of which can make logical arguments based on scripture. There is the premillennialist school which believes we are going to be raptured out of here and then return with Jesus to establish a 1,000 year kingdom. There is the post-millennial group who believes we will all be here for the tribulation and then taken to heaven when Jesus comes. There is the a-millennial group who believes the book of Revelation was a prophecy of the siege of Jerusalem under General Titus in AD 76. This group believes Revelation has all been fulfilled except for the last few chapters. My personal belief is that I don't have a belief. I know Jesus is coming soon and what happens between now and His return doesn't matter. If there is a tribulation He will get me through it. I just know He will return. I don't know what will happen between then and now. I do believe that like the first advent, the second coming will be nothing like we expect.

Write about this poem in your Blog entry today. Many people think that losing a pet is no big deal. They believe that "It's just an animal. Get over it and move." I know better. As a mental health professional, I know that people become attached to their pets. When a pet dies, part of the person dies with the pet. Grief is real and the person has to allow themselves to grieve. There is no manual on grief. We all deal with it in our own ways. Take time to allow yourself to grieve any loss. "Prompt: Count your blessings." As a mental health professional, the very first thing I require of my clients is that they make a gratitude list. It may only have "I am grateful I got to eat today," on it but it is a positive. "Prompt: Think of a scent seriously unpleasant to you. Then, think about the scents you really like. What did you feel like in both instances, and why do you think smells of things, whether we like or dislike them, are so important, especially in our writing?" A deer in the forest senses danger based on it's sense of smell. |
