Wow!  Can you believe summer is already half over?! 

I've talked with a few people who are amazed at how quickly the summer is flying by.  They had this huge list of things they were going to do this summer, but time has slipped away. 

Time has a way of slipping away.  I think that is true for just about everything.  I think many of us have good intentions in a lot of areas of life and we put it on our "list" of things we want to do because right now we're too busy, but we put it on our "list" so that when we have time - we'll do that.  Before we know it time has passed and we never get around to doing what we had hoped to do. 

I encourage you to look at your "list" and determine - what NEEDS to be done and what you WANT to do. Prioritize your list and start devoting 10 minutes a day to 2 items on the NEEDS list.  When they are done - move on to your WANT list.  You will be surprised at how much you can get done in 10 minutes when you really focus and work hard for just 10 minutes.
Speaking about being busy and having "lists"... Several texts in the Bible speak to this, like the ones above and 2 Cor. 2:6 says,
"Behold, now is the accepted time; behold,
now is the day of salvation."

Some things are okay if they don't get done - but if it deals with our soul's Salvation or the Salvation of someone else... that is something that we will regret for eternity, if it doesn't get done. Move those items to the top of your list.  Before you know it, Jesus will be here, and you will be happy that you moved those items to the top of your list.


I hope you're having a fun summer. I hope to see you all Sabbath

Pastor Randy
