Someone reminded me today that the point of having a blog is to use it! It seems like it takes a few days to put the updates on here. Part of that is just me making time to write. Part of it has been a lack of time to write. My last post related the mess of the parsonage due to remodeling. As of now, we are putting things back together. Three rooms were swapped out in the process as both my son and daughter moved to new rooms. Everything that fit in one room just doesn't seem to fit in the other. The final touch is of course the painting of rooms that is sure to come in the near future.

It is much too easy to let time get away. Even those who can juggle their time can end up wondering where it went. Those who are wise learn to measure time by purpose not by the hours in a day. Purpose is behind the last book of the Bible that we call Revelation. Most people read the book with the idea that its about the "end times." It is so much more than that. John writes about a great deal more than time. He writes about the God who is bigger than time. The God described in Revelation is past, present and future all in one.

Make the most of your time this summer. Never forget that God is not one who takes a vacation. You can always know He is in the midst of any moment if you are sensitive enough to notice. Leave time during the day to read or reflect on God through His word. Stay open to the opportunities of ministry to people around you. I would hope you would end the summer not talking so much about where you went but about what you discovered about faith. The best time to begin...is now.
