Monday.....again?

Are there not times when you ponder...how can it be Monday again.  Today was Monday.  There was Monday tasks at hand.  Monday calls.  Monday emails.  Monday stuff.

Tonight....a great meeting....with an amazing group of passionate, learning, human, fun folks.  Would it surprise you I tell you....it was the Administrative Council Meeting.  Over the past years....that is a meeting I often go to with a great sense of "I'm tired....why does this have to be on a Monday."

Tonight...God, I don't know what it was....but your Spirit filled that room.  It was a inviting, energizing Spirit.  

Now....if we could just figure out what it is.....you desire of us.  

For now....we agreed to study your Word, prayer, try a few things...you can't win the game if you don't practice....and work even harder at caring and loving and supporting one another.  This community of faith....it excels there....even on Mondays.

All in all....it has been a great, great Monday.  Praise you Father.  Praises to You.  

Now....time to do the Monday getting ready for Tuesday ritual.....

L. Brent, Pastor of Central Christian

I found this in one of my daily devotionals..... thought it was worthy of blogging...it too describes the way many of us...including me....understand the wrong Monday...Monday is a great day -- when you are growing to be aware of God in the steps and ways of each Monday.

This devotion simply stated:  Don't waste your life (I'll add -- Mondays)

Don't waste your life is the message of God to us.

We need to be gripped by the reality that choices we make have consequences both now and for eternity.
Only our sins are forgiven and forever forgotten by God - wasted lives are not forgotten, rather they are remembered .....(does that mean Mondays I scoffed and pouted through???)

Martin Luther lived by a motto he often repeated:
"I have but two days in my calendar - Today, and the Day I stand before Christ."

Something for a Monday...

and yes....
