I'm working with the Columbus State University Westminster Fellowship
and we decided to start posting a weekly devotional to the campus
online noticeboard.

Somehow I was nominated to go first, so I thought I'd share mine here
as well :) (Hope I credited everything correctly David!)


Someone asked me last week what I'd do it if I knew I'd die the next
day. Well, besides robbing a bank … ha, ha (kidding, really!) … I'd
call or visit my family and friends. Her next question was, "When's
the last time you called or visited them?" Ouch. Why is it so hard
to make 10 minutes sometimes? Saturday, I drove the 2 hours to
visit my parents. Yet I know for upcoming birthdays and holidays,
I'll spend an hour or more searching for the "right" card, and more
time on some useless gift … forgetting they'd rather simply have that
time.

So for this week's devotional, I'd like to share the following lyrics:

"The little one gets presents for a little consolation
He gives her her own telephone but not much conversation
She asks him for a moment like a beggar for a dime
There's no time like the present and there's no present like time."
