One year ago, yesterday, I was at the VA Medical Center for rotator cuff and bicep tendon surgery. Yesterday, I was at the VA Medical Center to have my teeth cleaned. A lot has happened in that one year period. We spent our eighth season at The Great Passion Play, endured a run-in with Covid, are about to start another GPP season and our second year out of our motor home and in our cabin in the woods.
We've lost some friends and acquaintances, had a teaching series on Revelation at church and are watching our country become further split over political issues, racial matters, and now an increase in tensions in international relations due to an end of our Involvement in Afghanistan, a war between Russia and Ukraine, increasing cost of basic necessities, and mid-term elections on the horizon which may further add to our concern for the future of our democracy in a fragile period of history.
No matter what has happened, what is happening or what may happen, time marches on and March, the month named for the Roman god of war, is the beginning of the end of a cold winter and a springtime when the warmer weather will usher in the hope for new growth, the perennials starting to bloom, leaves returning to the trees and spring rains to green up our lawns. Time marches on and so do we in our Christian walk. My prayers all begin with thanks for God's provision and protection and gratitude for Jesus and His life, death, resurrection and promise to return and begin a period of New Life for all who accept Him as their Lord and Savior. Come, Lord Jesus, and march with us, as we march with you. For the good, the not so good, but always for You……..Thank You, Lord.
