Deep Dive: God’s Judgement

First things first: The image above is a tweet. The current limit on characters is 280 and while that can be useful one cannot fully express the balance of a lifetime of study in a couple of sentences. Benjamin Cremer is a Wesleyan pastor with multiple degrees including a Master’s in Theological Studies. To learn more about Rev. Cremer and his views read more tweets; and he also writes books. I want to use the tweet as a launching point to make a deep dive into what we understand from scripture about God’s judgement. My post of 600 to 800 words will still fall short of everything the Bible has to say.

This meme kills two birds with one stone. Thursday was Groundhog Day. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter while in the southern state of Georgia General Beauregard Lee did not. The New England States are getting what’s described as a once in a generation arctic blast this weekend but temps will bounce back up into the 40’s in just a day or two. It’s gonna be cold up north, who could have guessed? General Lee predicts early spring but except for a few days of single digits temps in December this winter has been pretty mild. We’ve had an abundance of rainfall but that keeps the temps pleasant.

Tom Brady has retired again but… there is one NFL franchise owner asking him to come back. Sort of. Robert Kraft would like Brady to sign a one-day contract with the New England Patriots so he can retire, for good, from that franchise.

Girl Scout Cookies come from two bakeries in the United States, ABC Bakers in Richmond, VA and Little Brownie Bakers in Louisville, KY. There was either a crash that caused the fire or it may have just been a fire on US 27 in Pendleton, KY, on Thursday morning. That’s about half an hour from Louisville. So the bad news is that thousands of boxes of Girl Scout cookies were destroyed in a vehicle fire. The good news is that Little Brownie Bakers produces 450 million Thin Mints each day. But you’re right, it’s still sad.

Matters of the heart – There is still some back and forth but the general consensus across multiple studies is that coffee is good for your heart. For each cup of coffee consumed in one study the participants took an additional 500 steps that day. There are studies and reports very focused on specifics, like antioxidants or sleep patterns, but a study released March of last concludes that people who drink 2 to 3 cups per day live longer than those who do not. As for the meme, my love and I drink coffee together every morning.

Uga X should be in the college football hall of fame. Listen, I get it. You have either reveled in all the UGA coverage, interviews and memes for the past six days or you are sick and tired of it already. The infographic above is probably one you have not seen already but I’m not going to fill the Deja Vu post with celebration pics and football stats. PETA has once again asked the school to retire again and use human mascots. UGA has responded that he’s not going anywhere. If we are talking about the ethical treatment of animals – and not just grabbing attention or pulling outlandish stunts – then you gotta admit that Uga lives like a king.
