The last book signing of the spring is this Saturday at Barnes and Noble of Brandon! I am scheduled to be there from 1-3PM. Please stop by even if you're running late, since I usually stay well beyond the allotted time.
Much of what we refer to as "Time" is essentially a matter of perspective, since the experience of it can by accelerated, slowed, or seemingly halted according to one's state of consciousness. Time does pass, but the significance of its units of measure are entirely subjective. One need only examine the varied cultures of the United States, or, for greater contrast, those of the global community around us, to observe the differing import placed upon units of time. Therefore, do not allow the passage of hours, minutes, seconds upon your personal timepiece to make a indelible mark upon your health by perceiving them as grievous tyrants to which we are enslaved. In God's vision of time, those moments of empathetic care that we sacrifice to another soul are never wasted. Have you ever missed the time you took from your day to greet a lonely stranger with a smile? We never have to regret lost time when we are focused upon the Son, instead of anxiously minding the sun. It is only when we forget the Creator of day and night that we are strangled by the inadequacy of a day's length. Pencil His whisperings into your dayrunners, and remember that He is a merciful God, who has much to bless us with if we give Him a moment now and then to guide the use of our "time."
I enjoyed the time I spent talking with some of you this past Saturday at Family Christian Store of Palm Harbor. Likewise, I look forward to meeting more of the hearts treasured by God, whether they've been introduced to Christ or not. The more people I meet, the more I see of the treasure for which Christ laid his life down. Every time I look into the eyes of someone, I see a beautiful soul that God loves. I will probably chat more than sell, listen more than sign, but time is in His hands.
Many thanks to those who shared conversation with me, and thanks in advance to those who plan to visit me this Saturday.
In His Service,
