That's exactly what we start to do when we get older, at least some of us do, is that we start looking for the end before we've even really started the story. I don't know about you, but most books I read really start to get good about the middle and push with ever mounting excitement toward the end, or climactic moment. That's what we should be doing as well. We're like those books and we should be building with excitement, not looking for the ending but working to make the ending what God wants it to be!<BR/><BR/>As a side note, I don't know if you've seen any of these Nooma videos but they are excellent... they take about 10-13 minutes and really give an impactful video presentation of God's wisdom and love. I have the whole series (ten videos at this point but they're still making more) so let me know if you'd like to see one (or more)...though they might fly out like birds once people start to see them--they are that good. These are the videos that we are starting our small group with every week to prompt discussion over dinner and after so some of them might be taken by the time you ask for them...but don't let that stop you from asking!! Ask and ye shall receive...let's all try to walk a little more like Jesus every day!<BR/><BR/>God bless<BR/><BR/>JonJonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469481410390815424noreply@blogger.com
