A Little's Enough

Angels and Airwaves. Has anyone thought about their bandname? Anyone thought about the significance of both angels and airwaves? The significance of them together?

I now digress. I've been thinking a lot about Kingdom. The King's Domain. I've been thinking about the hope of the future. The eternal perspective of where I am right now, living in the modern-day Babylon, at a church being activated in the gifts. I've been thinking about my dad and the fact that there is no dilemma really. It's damn tough to see him going through this. And my physical eyes rarely get to behold him. But, even hearing his voice somedays is enough to bring tears to my eyes. There it goes...just the memory of it, though we spoke just hours ago, brings fresh water. Water to heal. The pain is real. It's real in this present time. The sorrow of the thought that I will live part of my life without him. It's real. It cuts deep. He is one of my great heroes, unsung for sure. But, by the day, his saintdom grows. With every flower he plants, every smile he shares, every time he laughs, he brings life, shares the hope of what's to come, he bypasses the temporal in exchange for the eternal. He is a hero and I wish he could be out and about to let more people see his bravery in the face of this beast.

There is no cancer in heaven. I long. I lonnnnnnnnnnnnng for him to be healed. Just one touch, Jesus. Just one. Just the faith of a mustard seed, tomorrow could be the day. Or, this may be the thing that takes him to be with his Lord. This may be it. I want more years. I want more time. Oh God, we want more time together! There simply is no cancer in heaven, so it can be that way here. I believe this with all my heart. Faith is the evidence of things unseen...faith is the stuff that proves that something else exists. I believe therefore it is possible. That's what the word says.

Angels and airwaves. They are both invisible too. But most people would admit they are there. It doesn't take much faith to believe that. In fact, who on this earth honestly believes that this world is it? Really? Really, do you? No, I doubt you do. If you believe in airwaves, you can believe in God. If you believe in airwaves you can believe that a man's time is not up yet and his healing will come through the prayers of the saints. It takes no more faith than listening to a song...and believing airwaves are real.

Please pray for my dad.
