On A Personal
Note...
The Last Minute As I write this note, my watch is beeping, informing me that yet another hour has gone by. It's now 4am and I am still preparing stuff for my trip to Denver. The National Conference of Catholic Youth Ministry is expecting me this week. Too bad I put so much off until the last minute. Ouch. (Of course, as you are reading this, I am either on my way to Denver, or I'm already there. Either way, the effect is just not the same. :-) I tend to put a lot of stuff off until the last minute. Sometimes it's out of procrastination, sometimes I just feel like doing something else... but often I simply misjudge the amount of time things will take to do. During Advent, we are asked to prepare for the coming of the Lord. It is the time of the Church year when we are supposed to really focus on getting ourselves -- and our souls -- ready for Christ.
What a cool idea! The Church actually schedules a specific time
for us to get our spiritual You see, I need something like that to get myself in gear. Because if I'm left to my own devices, the second coming will end up being like this trip to Denver: I'll be looking forward to it, but inwardly concerned that I forgot something very important. Don't you make the same mistake. Don't put off your preparation for salvation and then forget something vital. Start getting ready NOW. Focus on this Advent season and truly put yourself into it. Who knows? When the time comes, perhaps I'll still be scrambling around trying to get things in order, and you'll go on ahead. Peace, Sound off! Tell me what you think!
