Really late posting - August 15, 2008

Good Friday morning! We are starting the day wet on this Friday. Wet outside, sneezing inside. The allergy plants know their time is short and are putting forth extra effort to make me miserable. I would thank them individually if only I knew which ones they were. I would call it the RoundUp® award of effort.

Speaking of how long... how long do we have? Lately it seems there has been a rash of deaths in an age range that we tend to think of as relatively young in this time. If a person avoids highway accidents or war in their 20's, we often expect them to make it to 80 or 90 years old. I suspect that this is one of those statistical fallacies that happen in our perceptions. The average life expectancy is still in the 72 - 78 year range, meaning that as we approach that age it will indeed seem that people are dropping all around us. We do not know how long we have on this world. In Christ we know that it takes as long as it takes for God to be ready for us in Heaven. Until that time arrives, we must be about the work that God has given us on this earth. We have exactly the number of days we need to complete our own individual mission for God's kingdom. Praise God for each day and every opportunity to share what He has done for each of us.

I pray that you will enjoy a wonderful weekend of worship and relaxation. Have a great Friday in Christ Jesus!
