Amen and amen!

PurpleJo, whatever you don't get to accomplish here, I can promise you it will not be missed when we behold the full Glory of God. Not at all. It's OK to have aspirations and goals. It's also true we are to have perspective -- we are in the world, but not of it.

This world is sick and passing away, but stick with Jesus because the best is yet to come. Plan like we'll be here all our natural lives, but be prepared to go at any time, and don't be too attached to the world. It didn't work out too well for Lot's wife... just saying... : )

May the Lord bless you in all your comings and goings, and may you seek His kingdom and righteousness first, and everything else you need will be added to you...
