"Howare weever going to get it all done" That's what a set of parents said when they looked at the schedule that lay ahead of them.
Perhaps you can relate. There are many activities that we get involved with that take our time and our energy. Whether it is work related or school, sports or a miriad of programs, groups and events, when it comes right down to it, we are the ones who have scheduled them. But why?
Severalanswers can be given but usually they fall under a couple of reasons. The first is that in some way being involved will improve or help us grow in certain areas. The second is that we find enjoyment in those activities.
I believe all ofthese activities involve FORWARD THINKING. As each of us takes on challenges in life we are molding, shaping and growing into who we are becoming. (And before some of you who are a bit older begin to think that your're done, forget it! We are all changing and growing, leaning and achieving.)
Why do we do this? Perhaps it is because we have been created that way. Perhaps it is becuse the One who created us does the same thing. He is contantly molding, shaping, and growing each of us. His FORWARD THINKING is responsible for each usto evolve into what He wants us to be so that we can fulfill the purposes that He has for each of our lives as we live through each season of our lives.
Speaking of FORWARD THINKING. It was God's FORWARD THINKING that is responsible for each of us to be His children. When the time was just right God sent Jesus into the world to redeem the world. Now that was FORWARD THINKING!
By all means continue your challenging schedules if you can. But always remember that as you and yours are growing, changing and achieving God is FORWARD THINKING ABOUT YOU.

Why doesnt your church really care about people?
What do you mean?
You wont allow committed gay couples to marry in your church.
But . . . doesnt the Bible talk about adultery?
Sure it does. But today we know so much more about psychology than they did in Bible
times. The Bible supports people loving each other. Thats the main thing today.
