September 22, 2007

Good Saturday morning! Sorry for the pause, I'm just sitting here enjoying a few Christmas tunes. Ah, no pause in an e-mail. You will just have to imagine one then. :-) I enjoy starting a Saturday morning slowly, but that isn't always possible. Today is one of those days where it is happening and I am grateful to God for it. Too much too soon is is often the story of this life. It takes a moment like this to realize the value of time. There are only a finite number of hours left in my life on this earth, and some of them I would like to spend just enjoying life in the Lord Jesus. The world wants us to rush about gathering accomplishments and possessions. Jesus wants us to believe in Him and share the Good News of our salvation. One example of Jesus' life that we tend to miss is the lack of rushing about. He had enough time to do the things that God had sent Him to do. Why do we rush about so? Part of it certainly is being caught up in the environment, the world, that we are in right now. Part of it may be the desire to accumulate possessions. There may be many reasons, both good and bad, that cause this rush. One thing I do believe is that all of us, even those given over to the secular world, realize that time is short. The end is not far away now, and that gives us reason for great hope. Jesus is coming soon, relax and share the Good News of His coming.

Praise the good name of our Lord Jesus!
