Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

Perfect Conditions

Eccl 11:4 NKJV
4 He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

Eccl 11:4 MSG
Don't sit there watching the wind. Do your own work. Don't stare at the clouds. Get on with your life.

Eccl 11:4 NLT
4 If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.

I love to look at different translations of the Bible to compare one with the other. In doing so I find that clarity often comes.

The other day I began cleaning out my garage. Wow, what a mess. I have put it off for months waiting for the right time, “the perfect conditions.” I realized it is never the right time to clean a messy garage. However, I started and quickly realized it was a multi-day job and I needed some shelving and totes to store stuff in. The bottom line is I started and now I can actually walk around in the garage and find what I need.

Rick Warren says, “God expects you to do what you can, with what you have, wherever you are. Less-than-perfect service is always better than the best intention."
