Pick up The Pace

Please do not let the title of this entry deceive you. I am not suggesting that you do everything in a hurry. I am merely suggesting that you pick up the pace so that you can have and enjoy more of that "gold". The "gold" that I am talking about is ........time. Suppose you need to be somewhere in 3 hours. One thinks: "I have plenty of time." Remember that old adage: "Always expect the unexpected." Maybe it does not happen every time. ( it just seems like it does) You took your time to get ready, and then time took you. Three phone calls in a row. Someone drops by unexpectedly. You forgot that your car has no gas. You forgot that you must take something with you. You have not bought it yet. Something spills. Something rips. Something does not match. You don't have the address; who do you call? The line is busy. (remember, a teenager lives there) All of a sudden; your neighbor needs to talk to you. Now you are going to rush. Do you need to be at the airport soon? Don't get a ticket. "Stuff" happens. Practice PSFHTP. What is it? It stands for: "PREVENT STUFF FROM HAPPENING THROUGH PRAYER." Don't rush. I know, I know, sometimes you must. To help you avoid rushing in the first place; pick up the pace. Also, pick up the prayer habit.
