Plan B

So, I found out this morning that my visa got rejected because of a mistake at the embassy. How wonderful! However, even though this sounds like a crisis situation, it is not. There is a plan B. I will get my visa at the airport instead of getting it in advance and I will just have some extra paperwork when I get there. I'm sure that paperwork will also come with a small amount of headache as well, but that is par for the course.

So often in life there is a plan B. Seldom does "no" really mean no and there are loopholes in almost every system. As Americans we are so used to finding a way to get our way that we don't accept no for an answer. We don't accept absolutes, it just isn't who we are. I for one, am glad that this is one of those circumstances. However, there are absolutes in this world and unfortunately, many people do not acknowledge these absolutes for what they are.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." That is an absolute that many do not accept. Even people who call themselves Christians do not always accept this absolute. They want a loophole so badly that they refuse to acknowledge the supremacy of the Lord's words. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one, not a single soul, can get to the Father without a saving relationship with Him. Those are hard words to hear, but hear them we must!
