These days I have no choice but to write during "down times" because my weekly schedule is continually on ‘up time’.  So I write when I can, not when I want. And right now I'm writing at 30,000 feet in the sky because this time in the air is the only time I currently have to spare.It's not that I'm mismanaging time, but it's that time is managing me.   Now that I’m a free man, I have a work schedule with set meetings, preparation for tasks involved in the meetings, speaking engagements, and numerous other obligations.You see, I'd prefer to write at the same time everyday and have such time built into my day.....everyday. But my schedule doesn't lend itself to work that way. In fact, my varied speaking schedule alone keeps me "on my toes" which keeps me leaning on the verse "I can do all things through Christ who give me strength." (Phil: 4:13)I am amazed how quickly time flies and so I continually remind myself through the Scriptures that I need ‘to run and not grow weary and mount up with wings like eagles” and I can only do this by waiting on the Lord in ALL times.I know everyone has weekly schedules to keep, appointments to make, and people to see. But all of those activities truly mean nothing when they are performed without the wind of the Word beneath our wings.  So let us find the time to fly with the time by allowing our down time to be about what we can do in Christ and for God as oppose to what we want to do in the moment for ourselves. Because right now,  I'd much rather put off these thoughts and relax on this flight. But I realize in order to fly higher in life I must do what I can through Christ and not what I want through me.Does any of this make sense or is the altitude getting to me?
