Capture The Moment

September 26, 2012

My wife, Martie, is a great shopper. When she shops for groceries, she reads all the nutrition labels and considers the best deal by looking at the price per unit. But her best trick is looking for the “use by” date. She doesn’t just grab the first gallon of milk she sees, but rather she goes for the gallon with the latest “use by” date so she can bring home the freshest milk from the store.

In a sense, our lives are marked by “use by” dates—except that none of us knows the exact date when our heart will expire or we’ll take our last breath on this planet. Given that reality, shouldn’t we try a little harder to capture the moments we’ve been given? Capturing the moment means that we’ll do things like love more deeply, forgive more quickly, listen more carefully, and speak more affirmingly.

Paul gives this good advice: “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Eph. 5:15-16). He also instructs us to “walk as children of light . . . finding out what is acceptable to the Lord” (vv.8-10).

Since none of us knows our “use by” date, we should capture the opportunities to brighten our world with the love of Christ today!

Lord, grant me grace throughout this day
To walk the straight and narrow way,
To do whatever in Thy sight
Is good and perfect, just and right. —Huisman
Live each day as if it’s your last.

Read: Ephesians 5:8-21

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time. —Ephesians 5:15-16
Bible in a Year:
Hosea 11-14

Stay the heck out of my workspace!

You are generally fairly organized, but you have occasional slip ups. You find keeping organized challenging.

You tend to work at your own pace. If this means things don't

You feel like you neglect your family and friends when you're working. You may work a bit too much.

You are still trying to figure out your ideal career. You could quit your current job on any given day.

I usually don't do this sort of stuff because most of these don't quite 'cut it' - but, this one comes close. Here's my 'results' - with strike-outs over parts that don't apply in my case.

You are not organized in the least. Everything in your life pretty much survives of in spite of chaos.

You are hardworking and driven. You have an excellent work ethic.

You feel like you neglect your family and friends when you're working. You may work a bit too much.

You are still trying to figure out your ideal career. You could quit your current job on any given day.

At work, you tend to be an extrovert. You enjoy working with other people and drawing people into your work space.

Here's a link to take a look at 'my house of toys' which does more 'drawing of people' into my work space and I do! I've been at that site for almost 30 years - 47 with the company. ~grin~

Retired and low energy levels, A clean bench is a sign of a sick mind. If you know where every things is most of the time and you are over 60 you are doing quite good.

YOU ARE ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF ECLECTIC OFFICE DESIGN!



You are not organized in the normally understood sense of the word. Your Neandertal genes account for that. You’re on a different warp than the so-called Office Gurus.

You work at a pace few can match, let alone surpass!

You glory in your work – You’re habitually full-bore and balls to the wall. At the same time, you are able to step back, smell the roses, and make valuable time for your family.

You are an epicurean – you take great pleasure in the finer things in life – you are nothing if not a Sybarite!

You don't switch careers – you’re in for the duration. You’d rather die in the saddle than in your bed!

Arbeit Macht Frei!!

Wonder if anyone's making a new zombie movie I could work in today?

Ok, you know the drill.
Gonna see if I can get in some hellos

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
