Seize the Day!

We talk all the time about what it means to "seize the day"...to make the most of what we've been given. Are we doing that? Am I doing that? I have been asked many times recently why I wasn't on Facebook or why I didn't have a blog or something like that. Truthfully it made me feel a little old and "out of the loop." I really didn't know why until I recently attended a workshop on Social Networking that opened my eyes. One of the things the presenter said really resonated with me..."Don't start something unless you have a vision for it." That was my answer in a nutshell. I didn't have a vision for any of the stuff other people were doing. I didn't want it to be something that was just another form of entertainment. I don't need more distractions in my life, ya know? Then the Lord gave me a vision for how He could use me on Facebook, Blogs, twitter, etc. He could use me with the technology that He created to spread His love to the world. So, here I am "seizing the day"...making the most of everything God has given me for His glory. We live in amazing times...and God has once again opened roads and means of communication for the spreading of the Gospel as He did with the "Roman Road" before the coming of Jesus Christ. Help us Lord to use them for your glory!

  1. I think what you are doing is great on so many levels, keep it up brother. The challenge for me or for others is how do you seize the day, with so much stuff going on and around ones life ? I know that the bible says do not get tangle with the affairs of this world. So how does one untangle themselves ?, so that we can seize the day. I do like your quote..."Don't start something unless you have a vision for it." That's good stuff but How's does a believer start over?
    Great Blog. Keep it up.
