What Are You Doing Right Now?

I don’t tweet. I surf, google, text, and cell, but I don’t tweet. A guy has to draw the line somewhere. So I don’t tweet – at least not yet. According to their web site, Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected (tweet) through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? The face of communication has changed. Face-to-face conversation is fast becoming a lost art.  Thanks to the latest means of communication I can know what friends are doing just about all the time: what they are having for dinner, what time they are going to bed, who won a ball game.  We talk less, but know more. So is there a word from God for this technological generation? How about, “Let your speech (tweet, text, Facebook) be with grace, seasoned with salt.” (Col. 4:6) Hi tech communication? Yes!  Hi tech seasoning?  Please!

As I think about the idea of “tweeting,” it actually makes me laugh.  People apparently post what they are doing at every moment of their day.  (How do they have the time?)  But it reminded me that I don’t have to “tweet” God. He already is watching over me.  He knows my every thought, He knows my every move, and most importantly He knows my every need.  That is so comforting to me.  How about you?

As I ask the question, “What are you doing right now?” I wonder what you are doing the week of June 7th-11th?  The Boomerang Express will be rolling through Grandview that week for a great week of Vacation Bible School.  There has already been a lot of hard work put into the week, but the rewards are yet to come.  I hope you will be praying that the teachers and children will have an incredible encounter with our Lord.  There are many ways to serve during the week as well.  We will need kitchen help, recreation workers, cleanup crews, and “go-fors!”  I hope you will make plans to be here each evening from 6:00 until 8:30 to invest in the children of our community!

What are you doing the week of July 25th through August 1st?  Our annual church mission trip is that week.  We will be taking a crew to Bloomfield, New Mexico to do either roofing or framing as well as Backyard Bible Clubs for a church in that community.  It is a great opportunity to fellowship with one another as well as help out a small mission church with their new building.  The cost of the trip is $150 per person or $400 per family.

My final question for you is this:  What are you doing for Christ today?  Remember . . . He is always watching.  Are you pleasing Him?
