Briefly: Back After A Hiatus

Whew, it has been a busy few weeks, with activity everywhere I look. Thus, it has necessarily been quiet here at the blog. Briefly, though, some things of note.

First, the photo. I've given it a caption. "Watching The Clock" seemed appropriate. Do you have a better one? Can you telll me what in the world the folks pictured here are doing?

Next, hats off to the Duplication team for their good work in transitioning to the DFS from the AFS (complete explanation given in devos yesterday). You've all done well here! Also, commendations to Greg and Ivan for the extra effort on the recent flurry of TV uplinks. And congrats to Rudy "The Workhorse" for being "the man to whom much is given."

My devo thought, condensed, from yesterday:
Q1: What are some of YOUR life’s goals?

While many goals are good and worthwhile, it is instructive to think along the lines of Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” of which one is to “Begin with the end in mind.”

Q2: For the believer in Christ, what is an “end” worthy of vigorously pursuing? In Acts 20:24 Paul said this to the Ephesian elders,

"But none of these things (earthly accomplishments) move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God."

Q3: How will YOU finish? What’s ultimately important to you? Is that where you are investing your time, treasure, talent? Is that what drives you in the morning?
Let’s be about doing our work well, allowing the fruit of the Spirit to be manifest in our lives each moment of the day, and let’s strive to finish today well. It may be our last.

More to come. Submissions welcome. Thanks for checking in!
