Lord, My Bags are Packed!

When I was younger, the hardest lessons from the Bible for me were about being heavenly minded and not worldly minded. In my old age, I have finally come to realize this world is not what I want. I hate the hatred, the accusations, the violence and the disrespect in this world. I hate the arguing and fighting. I hate the racism (that goes both ways, by the way). I hate people blaming others for their own problems. I hate watching people ruin their lives.

My bags are packed Lord. I’ll stay here for the sake of my wife and kids. But otherwise, I’m ready to go. Beam me up. There is no intelligent life down here. My hope does not exist in anything of this world any longer. This is a terrible place. I’m looking for a city whose builder and maker is God!
