In The Abundance Of Time

In The Abundance Of Time

     473,040 hours.

     Will I say I was too busy?  Fifty-four years gives total time.  I want to pay attention.  Someone move me from the back of the class.  Too many distractions.  I want to see the board clearly.  Our Teacher moves with fluidity; I want to miss nothing.

     Oh, I could stay back making spit wads and shooting them at Suzy.  My friend Frank could tell me jokes.  Together we would laugh each other right into an ‘F.”  Except with this class, there is no chance in taking it again.

     Will He yell?  Separate us?  In discipline, will He strike us?  I haven’t pushed that envelope.  I just know I want to leave the old.

      Matthew 11:27 “All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”

     Learn what?  It is clear here that Jesus talked of revelation.  Forgiving sinners only opened the door.  The riches of His palace awaited those who stepped in.  He knew His Father was boundless.  Introducing Him to the world was His precipice.  He climbed to get all our attention.  Standing at the top, He gloried through conquering giving honor above.

     Jesus’ main mission was to tell us of the Father.  A sacrifice of sins was just a speed bump in His three-year ministry.  It caused Him to slow down but He accelerated on.  The Word so revealed the mind of our God.  In Him we find eternity reaching forever in all ways in time.

     Time.  What our Lord dedicated to His God.  Three years of revelation.  What am I to do with my time?

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...

She Doesn't Tell You That You Are A Loser

She Doesn’t Tell You That You Are Loser Grace:  The incredible pink cushion between your screwed up decisions and the ramifications wrought by them. Mercy:  withholds the rod.  Grace says, “Now what?  Given you’ve gotten yourself into a marijuana muddied bowl of slime, would you like a hand up?”  She gets her hands dirty. “That’s ok, its just something I have to work through.”  And she does.  Her incredible prayer power burns a hole through overhanging clouds of gloom. My ears pierce in my usual confronting atmosphere.  An auto E.Q. does its job to focus the vibrations to the rear-view mirror.  Anger aligns my head to look straight into traffic.  Twenty minutes of a sub-woofer gets my energy out of the windshield. “Hey, you’re messing with my woman!”  We have an understanding.  She is to be under my wing.  I have violated before, running in a tangent to the graph.  I’ve learned not to overreact.  I conc...

Perhaps You Don't Know

  Perhaps You Don’t Know      Those present sat in the first pew, on the left and on the right.   The ring bearer was my faithful dorm mate.   Nearly my age and goofier to catch my sister-in-law’s eye, his antics spiced the military wedding.   We, known as a couple since high-school, were definitely going ‘steady’.   Mother-in-law held up the Panasonic cassette player to march the bride.   Proud Papa did say, “Her mother and I.”      It was a humble wedding.   A few were invited.   Even fewer braved the September roads.   The medium-sized First Christian Church of Aurora, Colorado let in the light.   Lack of air flow brought sweat under my suited armpits.   Finally, drops found their place to my forehead and I dropped to one knee.   Grandma thought I had already proposed previously.   A bit of confusion hung in the air until I stripped off my outerwear and got comfortable in the ...
