I looked up, and it was Wednesday again; time to write the Mid-Week Message. How did I miss it?
There is not a one of us who has not gotten so caught up in life that certain things that mean so much to us seem to pop up out of nowhere because we have allowed ourselves to be completely distracted.
Fact of the matter is this is one of the great joys of the Lenten season. We, the church, take the Great Three Days that conclude on Easter so seriously that we intentionally work for 40 days to prepare for them. In many ways, this is at the core of Lent - the faithful ordering their lives in such a way that we cannot be surprised by the arrival of Easter Sunday.
How many times have you looked up at the calendar and said, "How did this get here so fast? I haven't had time to get ready for it?"
May we be people who so order our lives that we are not surprised by the arrival of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday, but eagerly and hopefully await their arrival.
See you Sunday (and Wednesday)!
Lamar
