You're right ...<b>dfish</b>, thanks for adding wisdom. You're right about the Lord perhaps being outside of time, and right about busy-ness as one of Satan's tricks.<br /><br />I forgot to give credit for the germ of the idea of this poem. It came from the book The Next Story, by Tim Challies. It's a very good book. I listened to the <a href="http://christianaudio.com/the-next-story-tim-challies" rel="nofollow">audio version</a>. The print version's available <a href="http://www.wtsbooks.com/product-exec/product_id/7471/nm/The+Next+Story%3A+Life+and+Faith+after+the+Digital+Explosion+%5BHardcover%5D" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Next-Story-Faith-Digital-Explosion/dp/0310329035/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309814544&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

We, on the other hand are governed by it, like the other natural laws. <br /><br />That we need time for ourselves, our friends, and for God is so often ignored in our rush to satisfy those who have no concern for our well being is one of Satan's tricks.Donald Fishgrabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11977970195032209188noreply@blogger.com
