The days of our life are seventy years, or perhaps eighty…; they are soon gone,…So teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart. -Psalm 90:10,12

As I begin this post on the last day of 2009  it seems like only yesterday everyone was talking about Y2K, the beginning of the year 2000.  You remember–all computers were going to go crazy, planes would crash and all sorts of catastrophic events would happen.   But they didn’t.

I just celebrated my 70th Christmas and I can’t believe it.  Where did all those years go?  Just yesterday someone referred to how quickly time goes.  And if God grants me another year, at the end of 2010, it will seem such a short time ago that this year ended.  So, it is not the length of our time, but what we do with those short years.  We are promised that if we follow Jesus that time will not be wasted but will be used by God to fulfill His great plan.

Have a blessed 2010 “on the road with Jesus.”
