Eeyore Theology

And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. Pslams 90:17

How does a believer in Jesus Christ cope with life's brevity and burdens without giving into what Michael Easly of Moody Bible Institute calls "Eeyore Theology"?

Eeyore, Winnie-the Pooh's gloomy donkey friend, always walks slowly with his head down. He sees the negative side of everything. An Eeyore christian can be heard making statements like "Sin is rampant everywhere--even in the church." "The world is in worst shape than ever." "God is about to judge us for our wickedness."

When Moses wrote Pslams 90, he was in a sober mood as he thought about the different between God's eternal majesty and our human frailty. We struggle, we sorrow, we sin, we fear God, and we die. (verses 7-10)

Depressing, isn't it? But Moses didn't end his psalm in that mood.

How would Moses respont to Eeyore Theology? He wrote, "Satisfy us early with Your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad in all our days!" (verse 14)

When we see the value of each moment and live in the glory of our redemption and the joy of our blessings in Christ, we show our delight in God to our children and grandchildren. (Verses 16-17)

Lord, keep us from being like Eeyore, and help us to leave a legacy of gladness, hope, and peace!

When trials assail and my moods descend,
When pain and sorrow seem to never end,
I yield to You, Lord, so that I may see
The peace and the joy You've promised me.

You won't be a child of despair if you remember your Father's care

Timon & Pumbaa: Times of change
I'm sure you lion king fans will enjoy this, especially if your fans of Timon and Pumbaa >D It's a Timon/Oc fic, but it has the other characters we know and love (Like timon's mother WHO I ADORE XD) To be honest I never read any Timon/oc fics, and could not picture it until I read her fanfic! So I implore you to at least give her a chance, and a review! *PUSH*

Both fics are written by my other buddy For all Balto fans! This guy has a way with words that makes me turn green with envy XD Both are still in progress, so why not go encourage him to finish

Ice Age: The Threequel
Yes, I'm horrible. Plugging my own fanfic XD A few people have asked so I decided to just place it up here for them to find. I don't write a lot, and when I do; a lot of my stuff is unfinished. So I really REALLY want to finish this story! I MUST! Shin will beat me XD;
