Whew! Deadline is crazy. Moving an office is crazy. Wow.
I love God's Word. I don't really take breaks during my work days (I really need to make that part of my routine), and reading God's Word is a refreshing break from the crazy schedule I keep. 2 Corinthians 6 packs a punch. Paul starts off this chapter (and, of course, his original letter was not broken up into chapters and verses) by saying:
"As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. For He says, 'In the time of My favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.' I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."
What does that mean?
The chapter also gets into the "do not be yoked with unbelievers" topic. That can be a big one for dating couples. Being married to a non-believer would be a horrible and painful thing. It's cool that the Word directs believers who convert after they were married to stay in their marriage. This passage is a real warning to unmarried folks, cuz the differing worldviews would constantly battle. Nevertheless, it would be tough to break up with someone over this. That's a harsh reality bite.
Now I'll get back to managing the CD sampler and the next issue.
