Time.........

Time...it's a constant thing.....10 seconds has past since I started to type.....it keeps going. i cannot stop it. Lets try. On the count of 3 lets stop time. 1...2....3Oh there it went. The 1...2...3... come and went. We could not stop it. Sometimes I wish i could. I want to stop it, get off the ride for a second and take a look around. See everything standing still....timeless. During the fearless seris we were asked in our final study at Lifegroup, what were we afraid of running out ofthe most. Answers looked for....money.....goods.....friends....and my answer....time. Several of us had this answer My greatest worry about running out of something, was running out of time. Time to do what I need to do. Time to raise my two little ones. They are 9 and almost 6. Time to see my grandaughter get married, have children. Time to do God's will. I pray for time everyday. I pray not to waste time. I want time to relax. I want time to work. I want time to work for me. I have in the past wasted many years of time. Time away from God. Time not putting others first. Time being selfish and greedy. Time being insensitive. Time worring and not adding a single moment of time to my life. Bible says our time is but a vaypor that is here today and then blown away in the wind.

I ask you to pray that I use every second of time in the best way that I can. For God, for my family, for my friends, and for His church. Pray with me....

Dear God, help me and all that pray with me to use the time that we have left in this world for things that are pleasing to you and benificial for those who we hold dear to our hearts and even those we do not know. Our lives are Yours, use them for your glory. In Jesus name we pray...

Thank you, till next time...

I got big trouble brewing........

My 9 year old baby girl got a Hanna Montana play wig for her B-Day a couple of weeks ago. She looks like she likes it very much. She also got a head-set and she has been prancing around the host dancing and singing like she is on stage. I think that if I hear "Best of both worlds" one more time I'm gonna scream !!!! Trouble is, she's really good at it. She really has talent. She auditioned for the part of Ms Cratchet from A Christmas Carol in the school play and got the part. Teacher said she nailed the part! I had heard her practicing the lines a week before the audition. She knew them so well that I thought she had already got the part. I am really proud of her. God has great plans for her. I am blessed with a great family and wonderful friends. I do not have many needs or wants. I am 52 years old and pretty well have everything that I could possibly want when it comes right down to it. I don't hunt or fish much, although it's actually time to reinvest in such things with the kids growing up. I don't golf or frequent bars and clubs. I love it at home. I love to visit or E-Mail friends. I love to go to church and teach All-Stars. Simple things for a simple person. As the old Emerson, Lake and Palmer song title says...."Oh what a lucky man he was..( I prefer IS) 'cause I'm still around. I have been traveling in the Book of Psalms here the last month or so with Through the Bible Radio ( www.ttb.org ) and one thing that keeps popping up is being grateful to God for all that he has blessed me with. Oh by the way, the blond Hanna Montana wig, it's got to go. Makes that 9 year old act like she's i9. I got big trouble coming. Our at least, that's how I see it.
