I have been thinking about this for a while now, and the only thing that makes sense to me is that there is something “Spiritual” going on in regards to time in the U.S.  To put it plainly, I truly believe the devil steals our time here.  Nowhere else have I experienced such a loss of time so quickly.  I know we in the states are distracted with all kinds of things like the media, work, and even going to church, but I am just amazed at how fast things have moved in the three to four months I have been back.  I know I know “You’ve been back that long?”  Yes, yes I have (except for that little European trip and the cruise), but that’s not the point.  The point is this devil stealing time away thing is for real.  I don’t know how many people said upon seeing me for the first time in over a year,                                                                                       
Hey welcome back, how long were you gone for?
One year, no way I feel like I just saw you yesterday, crazy.”                                                                       
I have also had multiple conversations that went like this…. 
Hey man, when was the last time you saw old so and so?
My friends’ reply “I saw him last week he is doing great, we had lunch together.” 
My reply… “Really, I heard he moved away 3 months ago?”                                     
Friend’s reply, “Yeah right, dang has it been 3 months?” 

I am not making this stuff up!  It is so evident in our lives.  I lived eleven months abroad doing the World Race, and that eleven months was so packed with life and experience that it felt like each month was a year!  The time did move but at a manageable pace.  Ecclesiastes 3 speaks about time and in verse 11 it says this: He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
I need, and you need to come to grips with eternity.  God has made us eternal beings and someday time will not be any issue, but that day is not today.  While on the World Race we used a lot of words and phrases that I had never really used before like: Speaking life, Pressing in, Feedback, and Debrief.  All really fine words/phrases, but the one word that I really like and get excited about is the word “KINGDOM.” People have it tattooed on their bodies, people have written countless blogs about it, and it is the one word that actually burns in my heart. “KINGDOM” that’s what I want my time to be about!  The “KINGDOM” is timeless, and the Devil cannot touch it.  When we experience the “KINGDOM” time doesn’t fly, it stands still because the “KINGDOM” is beyond the constraints of time and we get to be apart of it if we so choose. I say let’s choose to be part of it starting today, and let’s make that same choice tomorrow. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
