The Sand that is Left on Top

Last night Peggy and I were with the Other pastors from the Berwyn Church. Planning and praying.

During the meeting Aaron said something that shook me a bit. He said, I have 40 years of ministry time left. He is planning his whole ministry future.

I listened and reflected on how much sand is still in the top of the hourglass of my life. I want to believe I have 15 years of ministry left in me. Or more.

But, life is short. Today is my Son Kevin's birthday. He is 36. I wish I were, or maybe not.

Aaron and Kevin are about the same age. 40 years ahead of them yet. It's all exciting. But, it's sobering too.

Redeem the time for the days are evil. That's what the word says. I think I'll get about redeeming.
