patience

This weekend I joined over 1700 others in celebrating 50 years of God's faithfulness to Bible Study Fellowship International, a ministry in which I participated for 25 years.  The room was filled with tearful and joyful reunions and the joy of hearing from many the "rest of the story."  In many cases it had been years since we had seen one another and it was a little taste of how we will celebrate the first thousand years of heaven.

Raise your hand if you like to wait. Go ahead. Raise it high. Then feel free to move on past this blog today. Because this one goes out to all of us who have gotten impatient in the grocery line, tapped our foot while the microwave cooks, or found ourselves lost in an airport until the weather clears.
