![]() “Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5: 15-18) Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What an exciting time this is! We are entering into the heat of the summer now, complete with vacations, relaxation, and opportunities to see many people and places that we don’t often get to see. As many of you may know, for Carla and I, one of those places and opportunities is the mission trip with the youth to Jamaica. We are excited and have been preparing for this trip for a while now! We certainly have more to do as the date gets closer, but the anticipation and excitement is growing! There is much to do in preparation for a trip like this, getting passports, planning for what clothes to bring, arrangements for pets, and who will take on our responsibilities in our absence, to mention a few things. If we don’t plan well the trip will be less enjoyable. Having said that, I want to mention that we are planning for another trip. All of us are counting on making that trip. I’m talking about our trip one day to heaven. We need to plan for that trip carefully also. Obviously we need to be saved from our sins, which Jesus accomplished on the cross for us. That brings up the first question, “Are you saved?” Have you asked Jesus to forgive your sins, come into your heart, and to change you into one of His children? If you have, great! You have your “passport.” There are other preparations to make also. Have you packed your robes of righteousness? Have you invited your friends to join you on your trip to heaven? Have you gotten to know Jesus well, and become more like Him? Paul invites us to live our life carefully, and make the most of our time. Instead of pursuing worldly, fleshly goals, we need to be about the Lord’s business here on earth, as long and as often as we have the opportunity. In that way we will be preparing for the final trip of a lifetime, and that is exciting! May God bless you on your journey! May God continue to bless you as you continue to be a blessing to others!
