Not willing or ready to confess: An old-timer sat on the riverbank, obviously awaiting a nibble, though the fishing season had not officially opened. A uniformed officer stood behind him quietly for several minutes. “You the game warden?” the old-timer inquired. “Yup.” Unruffled, the old man began to move the fishing pole from side to side. Finally, he lifted the line out of the water. Pointing to a minnow wriggling on the end of the line, he said, “Just teaching him how to swim.”
Friends, There is a time and season under the heavens for every matter. Allow me to list a few:
Time for Thera Freeman to arrive, time for her to leave
Time for individuals to relocate in their lives/family because of their profession
Time to have surgery Time to recover from surgery
Time to take chemotherapy Time to take radiation therapy
Time to take care of our loved ones Time to plan for the birth of a child
Time to plan for our Last Will and Testament
Time to be ordained a pastor in the church Time to retire from full-time service
Time to elect Bishops of the church Time to return to our church ministry
Time for rebuilding the church Time to raise funds for special projects
Time to preach Time not to preach
Time to go fishing Time to “drown worms”
The list is endless… This spring and summer time, it has been a rollercoaster of events in the life of the church, community and personal life. Little down time for so many, doing so many projects, yet keeping focus that we are to be about the work of the Lord. The church has embarked on a Capital Campaign/Building Committee time for information gathering.
So much effort is being done to ensure that all that will be presented, all that will be done, will be to enhance the ministry potential of the church. Change is constant; however, the Word of God never changes. Friends, life is fragile. Handle with care and temper it with prayer. Love to all. Shalom + Paz + Pax + Peace
Pastor Frank
