H E Double hocky sticks

so today i was just sitting around thinking. my roomie went tanning the other day and got absolutly scorched. i feel so bad for her. being a red head i know how it feels to get burnt- it's so painful. every move hurts. and even little burns from like touching a stove or oven hurt incrediblty bad.

don't know why, but that got me thinking about hell. if a sunburn or minor cooking burn hurts that much, how horrible would it be to be engulfed in the flames of hell. there is no escape. not aloe. no burn ointment. no water. no lotion....just heat and flames and burn! i can't imagine. your whole body would be in agony. wow.....i don't think i realize how real and how horendous hell would be like. i just can't get my mind around it. i think that if i did realize how atrocious it was going to be, i would be out telling everyone about Jesus and witnessing left and right. in general as Christian, i just don't think we get it. Hell is real. people will be going there. and yet i sit in my comfortable Christian bubble, not paying any attention to that. and hell is more than just fire and burning... it so much worse. i complain about having a sun burn, and yet there are people all around me who are on there way to somewhere so much worse, unless i take a stand and tell them about Jesus.

sorry- this is kind of heavy. it's just been on my mind. i don't want people to get saved as "fire insurance" but at the same time, hell is not made up. sure we don't like to think about it, or talk about it and it's not a fun topic, but that doesn't make it any less real. i think it's time as Christians, or at least for me, to stop beating around the bush. to stop making excuses and realize that there are some people who i care about that i don't know for sure where they would go when they die. i don't want them to die w/o me knowing,and them knowing, for sure that they're going to heaven. the guilt of knowing i could have done something to change their destiny, but didn't, would be unbearable.
