What day is it?

My plan for the week was to provide a nice, new covering for a house in St. Marys. Brand new vinyl siding. The house is going to look great. About 1:00, that's 1300 for you military folks, the clouds rolled in, not the puffy white clouds that cause you to think of your third grade science class. These were angry black clouds that carry the promise of rain. They were red according to my radar picture. We have been in a drought for as long as I can remember, including the year we had several hurricanes. The skies opened up and the much needed rain came.

As I sat at my desk worked on Sunday's sermon (my new plan), a thought occurred to me: it's the last day of June. What happened to the first 29 days? I have been deficient in providing the inspiring words that are often, well sometimes, okay, occasionally found in my blog. Life happens even when we want to push the pause button, or even send life right to voice mail. Sometimes in our busyness, we lose sight of what's important. Family, friends, laundry, and most importantly, spending time with the Lord. If you want to be an authentic Christian, set aside a block of quality time to spend in fellowship with Christ. He is worth your time and you will be enriched just by being in His presence.
