Eternity
The first night of our parish mission was tonight. We’re doing an abbreviated version of Walk Thru the New Testament. It looks like it will be good. The hand signs and such are a little hokey — I think I’m not primarily a visual learner that way and would rather just take notes — but the concepts are good, and I think the program will help some of these ideas be more memorable than they have been when I’ve learned them in other contexts. So I think it will be a good use of our time. And Agent Murphy gets to spend three nights in a row at the parish nursery and stay up past his bedtime! He likes it there — they have good toys, including a little puppet show stage and a play kitchen. He was playing at the kitchen when we came to pick him up tonight.
One comment the presenter made this evening was in reference to the believing Christian’s appropriate focus being on eternity, as opposed to the past, present, or future. He suggested as a Lenten exercise to try to make a habit of making decisions/choices in light of how they will impact eternity. That’s a good reminder. I’m often very bad about that, especially lately. Get caught up in too much trivial stuff and lose sight of the ultimate goal and outlook. I guess I will have to work on that during Lent.
