So I have been contemplating the passing of time, you know the passage in Ecclesiastes "to every thing..." As I get older, and I am not old by anyones calender accept a teen's perhaps, I find that things speed up. Those things that used to take forever now pass in the blink of an eye. That which used to move quickly seems to take forever. As we enter into different stages in our life God gives us the grace to walk through that time. That also works in our spiritual lives as well. The phase that we all remember from the book of Esther is "for such a time as this". In our corporeal lives and in our spiritual lives we are all here, right now, for such a time as this. Let's all revel in our time and know that God counted us worthy to struggle through the complexities of the early 21st century. "let your light so shine before men that they see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven" Matthew 5:16
