Day 67 ...unsure how to write this day.
It just went.
Vanished.
Finished.
Yet, everything that happened was of the 'major' category.
The funeral service of Reedley Police Officer Behar, killed in the line of duty. Thousands attend a memorial service.
Major event #1.
Lunch meeting with a Christian leader who has started to belong at Redeemer's Church and two hours talking vision and some next steps we are considering.
Major moment #2.
Recording of Alpha Launch talk for Wednesday night (I fly home with my wife to attend her mother's funeral). Many people expected to attend and many of our church have gone out on an invitational risk.
Major event, major recording #3.
Three major things.
But its nearly 8pm .....and the day simply vanished, despite the major-ness of all that happened today.
Did I do everything knowing it would vanish, but that each part of it was loaded with eternal impact?
Do I live with an eternal perspective?
I need to.
Can you live fast and still live eternal?
Beginning to work on a talk entitled "Bowing down to the idol of busyness."
Ouch!
Sabbath .....God's invention (or gift) for fast live-rs who need to make sure we remain connected to an eternal perspective.
I think I'm learning this. I take deliberate steps to slow down on Sat & Sun. In fact I can slow down to the point that my Monday morning room is ........painful.
So ...my intentional follow of Jesus today?
A struggling, painful Monday morning run - confirming I did indeed have a sabbath, and my fastness today was still OK.
