change

Yesterday, about fifty members of my church stood around a pool in the rain. It was baptism day. As a handful of new believers entered and exited the pool, I thought about the change each had gone through in such a short time. Joy, peace, freedom, love, grace. Cleaned up lives, healed relationships, new habits. These people have been transformed radically by their encounter with God.

Do you, like me, often feel you are on information overload?  Between texting,emailing, surfing and living I declare that I need a bigger hard drive and a updated chip for my brain.

It doesn’t help to view an Internet video highlighting the rapid pace of change and learning that the amount of information contained in one week’s New York Times is more a person in the 18^th century would have received over an entire lifetime!
