July 21, 2007

Whew! 0930 and I am already tired. Cleaning the pond, catching some fish and transplanting them to a bigger pond out in the country, and digging some cattails with Gary, has left me worn out early this day. What happened to resting after the work week? :-) Some times there is just a lot to get done on a Saturday and putting it off until Sunday ruins both days. Of course, this weekend is not without its very own school assignments, but each weekend is one closer to finishing this school thing.

Reading the final chapter of the Bible reminds me that Jesus would have each of us know that He is coming soon. We might wonder at times just how soon is "soon". When we are tired of this life, when problems are tough or many, we might wonder a bit more forcefully; we might even suggest to the Lord that now would be a good time. Well, me too, but Jesus is not a rip cord that we can pull, or a pill to soothe an ache; we must wait and endure until his perfect time has arrived. However, he says it more than once to remind us, to comfort us, that his time is soon. We can count on that, and we who believe know that time is short for spreading the Good News. We need not endure much longer. Trust in the almighty strength of Jesus our Lord.

I pray that you have a blessed weekend!
