To last forever

In Psalm 90 (my next sermon) God is proclaimed as having been before the birth of the universe until eternity – that’s God’s lifespan.

We get a mere 70 years, or 80.  Those who reach 90 can attest to the decline in life as the years increase.

What would it be like to last forever?  What would it be like to exist like some plastics which we are told are non-biodegradable?  What would it be like to be everlearning, evereating, everlasting?

I guess I have a hard time understanding that.  I think I am built with the second law of thermodynamics in my bones.  But in my spirit .  .  .  I’m built to last forever.  Someday my body will catch up – or at least a body with a new format – one that is programmed to last forever.

For that I’m glad.

For tonight, I’ll take my acid inhibiting medications and walk to my room on metal knee replacements. . . looking forward to forever!!
