sadness....

I was really all excited to tell you about this amazing book I am reading, but when I turned on my computer and the msn home page popped up I saw some sad news. I do not follow hollywood that closely anymore, but I saw the news that Heath Ledger was found dead in his NYC apt. today. Aside from the fact that I love the movie a Knights Tale, this is a great loss. He had a young daughter who is now fatherless. On a larger scale this saddens me because it is a represenatation of what our society is becoming. These "famous" people who seem to have it all yet are miserably dissatisfied with their empty lives. They try to fill up the emptiness with friends ,drugs alchohol and things. But these will never satisfy them. They become more desperate and yet the dispair grows. As Christians we know what they lack to bring meaning to their lives is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the ONLY one who can bring peace and true happiness into our lives. If you are someone who is feeling this emptiness and unhappiness I implore you to seek after Jesus. No matter where we have been or what we have done He is there waiting for us with open arms to come to Him. In Matthew 11:28 it says" Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy burdened and I WILL give you rest...and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." He will accept each of us when we come to Him. There is no other remedy that will "fix" our society, nothing else that will fill up the empty place we all have in our souls. I pray that you will give this some thought if you have not already had this life changing experience. If you have, give the Lord some extra thanks and praise tonight for what He has done in and for you! God Bless
