HOW DO YOU SEE TODAY?

Today is August 30, 2008. How do you see it? Is it a bummer? A hoot? A maze of disorientation? Let's consider some good stuff.

Does anyone remember when to change a television channel it was accomplished by getting up from the couch and walking across the room? And, do any recall that there was a time when we actually dialed a phone....just after we rang up our neighbors? If the Lord tarries there will be more discoveries and more inventions than have been found. What in the world could they be? How fascinatingly will they impact mankind? What will medicine and fitness and education offer?

I encourage you to look creatively at the day(s) in front of you. See beyond the ruts of non-growing minds. See into possibility. Wonder what God has wanted from one believer that no one has thought about yet. Peer into newness backed by God's resurrection power. Ponder outrageous movement of God upon the world's populace.

I was a kid when John F. Kennedy declared we would put a man on the moon. Not thought of! Not possible! Incredible. Old hat today. Enjoy the good from your heritage God has allowed and use that building of faith to impact life in unimaginable fashion. Do it!

How about popping popcorn in a pan? That took forever. And could be dangerous. As for a remote for the TV- my dad had four. His children/remotes/popcorn makers.

I thought this was a really good day. It's my birthday!! :) But it is amazing how things have changed. God has given us some many wonderful things. There is no telling what we could accomplish if we set our minds to it.
