This summer you probably noticed my posts have been few and far between. I took an unexpected and much needed break the past few months. Life throws a lot of things at you all at the same time. It’s hard to keep all the balls up in the air and occasionally some have to drop. Unfortunately, I had to let writing The Renewed Mind become one of those balls that dropped for a little while. I spent time traveling on vacation with my family, working and engaged in ministry.
I don’t ever want to post anything just for the sake of posting. There’s two rules I live by when posting on this blog:
Rule #1 – If there’s no passion in what I write, and it becomes just a mindless routine to get something on the page, it ‘s wasting my time and more importantly your time.
Rule #2 – If I can’t meet the quality standards I set for myself, I should invest myself in something where I can deliver quality.
So in order to keep myself from violating these two rules, I invested myself this summer into some people and things that needed my attention. It was also good to read a few books, listen to some sermons, and grow a little more. I will be posting more often now and look forward to getting back into a routine.
In the next month or so, I will also be making my first e-book available for free.
Thanks for sticking with The Renewed Mind.
Last Wishes Of A Dying Man
Recently, a friend ministered to a dying man in the hospital. The man had suffered incredibly for several years. At last the effects of the disease had taken their toll and it was apparent he would soon be with the Lord. During the last hours of his life on this earth, my friend spent time comforting him. Soon the misery would be over. They prayed together. I asked my friend, “What did you pray about with him? What did he pray about?” My friend’s answer was one of the most appropriate responses I ever heard. He said, “He was just thankful for his salvation and wanted to see his loved ones saved.”
