There have been over 700,000 calls asking what happened after loosing there TV signal. For years there have been announcements that the change was going to happen. The bottom line is, people weren't listening.
This reminds me of the message of the Gospel. People have been hearing that they need to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. People aren't listening and the day is coming when they will wonder what is happening.
There is still time.

The Moving Experience
I can not believe how much you have to deal with when moving. Moving really is an experience. The one thing that really hit me when moving was how much junk I have. Where does it all come from.
I am very happy to report that I had significant breakthroughs this time around when dealing with useless junk that I have been storing and lugging around for some time.
By the way who is going to have to get rid of your junk if you happen to demise before you think you will?
To be very honest I was relieved to part company with books I had for no apparent reason for having. I had books that were so outdated it was a crime to even think they were of any value to my research.
Honestly, every thing you need can be found pretty much online and only books that are current seem to make sense. Why hold on to the past. I did keep some books but only if they had sentimental value(very few, thank God).
Clothes are another issue. Goodwill benefited from my repentance and sound judgement. Useless papers have no value. Why do we want any papers that are out of date. It was time to burn the trash. Thank God for computer memory and save disks.
Moving brought me back to some basic assumptions. Live simple, live clutter free, live to transition into something better(more does not mean better).
To spiritualize moving I would say we need to clean house from top to bottom and get rid of the junk that clutters our judgement and vision of the present and future.

Getting People to Stay
by Bill Reichart
You want me to come and stay at your church? Then...
10. Show me Jesus
9. Smile
8. Serve me
7. Help me to get involved and connected
6. Look me in the eye
5. Ask my opinion
4. Be clear and anticipate my questions
3. Remember my name
2. Call me (without asking me for something)
1. Be yourself
All of these together boil down to one simple message: Show That You Care.

Things to expect after a miracle
After the lame beggar was healed in Acts 3 the following occurred:
1. Others became interested in the message of the Gospel. (Acts 3:11) While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the so-called portico of Solomon, full of amazement.
2. Trouble came to those who God used to bring the miracle (Acts 4:30 And they laid hands on them and put them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening.
3. Growth occurred both spiritually for the believers and numerically for new believers (Acts 5:14)And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to their number.
Just a reminder. The greatest miracle of all is the salvation of a soul. When a person is truly converted that is the power of God at work in the greatest way.
