Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Are you ready for some snow and cold temperatures? Oh Wait, wrong season, but that is how far behind the seasons I feel I am. It is so hard to believe that this year is almost half over and that June and summer is upon us. You know, mom and dad told me as a kid that as you get older the days and years will go by way faster. I did not understand at the time since there are still 24 hours in a day and 365 or 366 days in a year but someone they are right. Time does seem to go by way faster the older we get. I think that that has to do with the fact that we are busier in many ways with so much more responsibilities than as a child. I also think that it has to do with us being so obsessed with time. we set times for everything, time for church, time for the game to start, time for our meal with our friends, we put TIME before everything that we do, or do we. We are so good at having agendas and schedules and making sure we are ON TIME to our social events, but how good are we with our time with God. I'm not talking Sunday services or Wednesday Prayer mtg. or Ragamuffin, I'm talking about TIME with GOD! What is the easiest time to put aside, "well it's later than I thought so I will look at my devotional tomorrow". We have all had the excuses but does God ever have an excuse for not being there for us, NO. Why, because He never leaves our side. I know that summer is such a busy time for all of us, and that Sunday's are scheduled full of events as well as the rest of the week. I cannot change that, however, that does no mean that there can't be time for God. Many have voiced concerns about all of the events on Sunday's these days. I as many of you would like to go back to the days when nothing was open on Sunday's but that is not going to happen. So if that is not going to happen then why don't we just take Jesus with us. Our kids who play baseball on the weekends have been so good at having Prayer time before and after their games. They have even had other teams come and pray with them, isn't that living for Jesus? It makes me proud that our kids, even though they may not be in Sunday School and Church, they have not forgotten their Jesus. Brothers and Sisters, time is short and the Enemy Satan knows that time is short and we have a might work to do until Jesus comes back. So I challenge you all to take Jesus with you everywhere you got this summer. Take Him in prayer, wear Christian apparel, Go to church in the town you are in and visit, but in every way you can. Let those who see you know that you carry the name of Jesus. Have a blessed and safe summer, enjoy your family events and keep sharing Jesus.
