School Daze!
When we were very young, in school "and your life was an open book", there was no concept of time. At the present time in our house, we have a few clocks around that if you're very quiet, the tick, tick, tick, of the second hand shouts that time waits for no one.
During our days at school, events filled the hour glass and calendars, thoughts of future games and dances. We lived for the then and now of our day, without considering adulthood, or about entering senior adult life.
And so we have memories. Some of them are great, while other recollections have many looking forward, never to look back. Nevertheless, fond memories to me:
Football games, bands, pep rallies, church activities, bon fires, new clothes, orientation, pens and paper (do they still use those?), teachers, tests, friends, traitors, bullies, girl friends or boy friends, cliques, grades, class rings, homework, dances, class presidents, Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, homecoming queen, Pizza, breaking up, gym class, gym teachers, coaches, losses, wins, lettermen jackets, the blackboard, chalk, overhead projector, school clubs, drama, laughing, crying, hall passes, study hall, going steady, crushes, favorite songs, Youth for Christ, janitors, lunch ladies and detention!
AND IT WAS ONLY FALL!
Kids have fun going Back to school!

Power Walking!
I have had the opportunity to speak at some churches. I "titled" some talks/sermons "Power Walking". The idea wasn't only in racing but a daily exercise of stepping out in force with an appropriate pace.
The physical act of power walking is done with intention and purpose. The end of a walk might be a location or timed challenge that requires more commitment than the occasional daily stroll.
The course may be known or might have its surprising obstacles. The walk of life may be complete with storm, sadness, loneliness, poverty, lies and important life choices.
Various spots in the Bible gives us good instruction technique of walking correctly to win and help other walkers along their route. Maybe you've read them or heard some of it's coaching :
- Walk in TRUTH
- Walk in LOVE
- Walk in His SPIRIT
- Walk by FAITH
- Walk HUMBLY
- Walk with GOD
- Walk in the LIGHT
- Walk in WISDOM
- Walk in His WAY
- Walk with OTHERS
If you have trouble in this life and realize you need eternal saving, run to Jesus! We then walk with Him throughout your days.
