Oil in Jars

So it is no secret to many of you that there are days that I pine away for our Lord and Savior to come home. It is not a noble thing really, I don't think I necessarily love Him more than the next guy. I just get really tired of the world we live in, and I desire for a life without evil. I really do believe with all my heart that things will be more colorful, more vibrant, and more alive when we see, and hear, and feel, Jesus in full. Selfish? Maybe.
Saturday we all went to see the long awaited movie The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe. Wow!! I won't give it away but I can tell you in the end Lucy watches Aslan walk away while Mr. Tumnus coaches her through Aslan's leaving, she has a look on her face that describes my feelings. When one has witnessed so much wonder and miracle like Lucy and I have it is hard at times to live in the ordinary. Not to say that I have ridden on the back of a lion, but without sounding like I have lost my senses I do have similarities with Lucy that are between me and Jesus. Just like Lucy I wonder if it is real or all in my imagination... have I dreamt it or can I take hold and make it mine?

1"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6"At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'

I don't know about you but it does seem to me He is a long time in coming! I will say to all of you however, I will not let my lamp burn out. I will not miss the Jesus in full I have been waiting for.
