It has been a long time since I last posted.  Seems like life gets to going so fast that it is difficult to find the time to sit down and post comments and thoughts that are hopefully helpful and insightful. Dr. Robert G. Witty, a long time friend and mentor, lived to be 100 years and six months old.  He was one of my dearest friends.  He taught Bible classes in his assisted living home and Sunday School at his home church up to just two weeks before he died.  In his 90's Dr. Witty hosted two websites (I wish the sites were still up).  He told me the computer had given him the opportunity to minister to the world.  He posted Bible Studies, Sermons, Helpful Pastoral Hints and much, much more. He knew how to seize opportunities...he knew how to make oppotunities.  He would often say, "Find a wave and ride it...or make a wave and ride it."  This was his way of saying...always be moving forward, advancing the cause of Christ.

I sit here in my home study today, a rainy Labor Day, reminded that at my finger tips is a machine and technology through which I can speak to people around the world.  I think I am going to start using this opportunity for good and for God more often.
