It seems like this happens to me all the time, especially lately. I keep coming across little things that teach me some profound message that I realize would have helped me out a lot in the past. It's as if God's continually pointing out to me the things I missed in the past so that they are ever more significant in the present. And that's all good and fun, even if I do sometimes start to feel like angels must be laughing hysterically at me. What frightens and worries me is this: what mistakes that I am making now will I see solutions for long past the time those solutions could help me. It makes me want to learn as much as I can about God, so that I can avoid, not being laughed at by angels, but the ruination that goes with ignoring His Word. Which I suppose is a good thing, and perhaps the "point" of these little revelations in the first place.

Go on, laugh away up there...remember I'm going to make it up there at some point in the future...until then, I'll do my best to be a source of amusement.|||107730586635060351|||
