So anyone else a bit freaked by the fact that school starts in just a couple of weeks?!  Where did the summer go?  I feel like time is NOT on my side!

Speaking of time I had an awesome experience leading a Family Camp at Shores of St. Andrew where I had time to really think about......TIME, let me be more specific, I thought about time management and how Jesus figured out the key in his hectic and busy life.

What was JC's secret? SABBATH!  No not only Sunday's, but boy wouldn't it be great if everyone took Sunday as a Sabbath, I'm talking about how Jesus made Sabbath a priority in his everyday life.  Jesus often took time to leave his disciples and others behind, often in the early morning hours, just to sneak away and rest, renew, and re-charge.  It was his time, and he spent it in prayer and reflection with God.


I need to follow his example this year and take time out of my life to be alone and rest, renew, re-charge in some Sabbath time.  My family needs me to do this, my ministry does, and more importantly God needs me to take the time.  Hey maybe for once time will be on my side!
