Timing is everything.

I say this a lot. Timing is Everything. It applies to jokes, to sermons, to conversation, to bowhunting, to lots of stuff.

I've debated about starting a blog many, many times. But the timing never seemed quite right. Things have changed. The timing is different.

The Greeks had two words for time. "Chronos" meant time measured by the clock and calendar. Days, weeks, hours. In Chronos, there's no such thing as "the right time." It's just a commodity, a measured flow. "Kairos" meant time measured by opportunity. Kairos is when God brings things together at exactly the right time. In Kairos time, things flow together and opportunities arise. Doors open and close.

So here we are. I've spent the last couple weeks thinking, talking, and praying about this and it seems like there's an opportunity not to be missed. The door is open.

My plan (sic) is to post at least 2-3 times a week. Topics will range across a variety of stuff, but most of them will have to do with trying to figure out what this life is all about, and that will mostly revolve around a relationship with God in some form. Feel free to comment if you like, or just to read. I look forward to the dialogue part of this.

We'll see where it goes!

    You are truly The Constant Shepherd, and for that I thank you! You have continued to lead us through your experience and by sharing on Caring Bridge and now in your new Blog; whether or not that was the intent it was most certainly the result.
