Have you ever had one of the nights where you are attempting to drift off to sleep but you begin to think of eternity and your thoughts go on and on and on?

The thought of existing forever with no stopping point . . . to envision an eternal entity seems too hard to wrap your mind around.

When I (Patty) was younger, the sheer phenomenon of eternity was beyond my limited consciousness and it would literally keep me awake at night until I would finally give up and think about more amazing things like; what I was going to wear to school the next day. (Smile!)

Now, tomorrows outfit can be significant, but does it ever bother you that we don't let eternity capture our imagination the way an outfit does?

It states in scripture that what captures our imagination and affection will determine the direction of our lives. Therefore, we should not focus on things that pass away.

This week we will be discussing this topic as well as what are you doing to seek God with your whole being?
