fun day

Well, this morning i found 5 quarts of oil spilled on the parking lot under Joanna's car. To make a long story a little shorter, we needed a new oil filter. So i figured i'd run to Wal-Mart since good ol' Fleet Farm doesn't carry the right filters. On the way there, my truck ran out of gas while the gauge told me i had about 5 gallons left. Thankfully my mentor Ben and his wife bailed me out. That was not fun. Cleaning up the oil was the worst part.
I just got back from the mailbox where i got to talk about the Lord with the mailman. He started talking about how in the end everyon will be saved. He looked it up in Strong's concordance, apparently. He had some interesting ideas, so i asked him what church he went to. He doesn't. I invited him to ours, but he responded by saying Luther and Calvin and Zwingli came out of the organized church, and that's what he is doing. A very interesting guy. I hope future talks will happen. But i've been thinking and reading, and as it turns out- he's wrong. There will be a time when God will cast unbelievers into eternal hell and usher those found in Christ into heaven eternal. Part of me wishes that guy was right, but it's just not the truth. God's plan stands forever, and that plan includes vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, and also vessels of mercy.
