Be Still

After hearing others talk about their blogs, I decided that it was time for me to jot down my random thoughts. I was thinking early this morning as I was getting ready for work on how much I miss the lazy days of summer. Remember when summer ment spending the day playing outside and going to the pool? Now summer has became the most hectic time of the year due to the weddings, mission trips, vbs' and all the other activities we throw in. Before we know it Walmart will be replacing the discounted Fourth of July decorations with Santa Clauses. The world keeps moving faster everyday and sometimes I just want to shout; "Be Still. Stop. Let me catch up." I was sharing with the youth at my church tonight a passage that referes to human life as a fog. James 4: 14 says; "How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone." Our lives are so short that the constant rushing and wishing we do does not add time, but takes away the precious time we do have.
