At church last night, we watched a video clip* concerning God's divine grace in giving us the freedom to choose. [Yes, I wondered how popular such a thought would be amongst Calvinists . . . although Calvin believed God gave us free will - he just thought we lost it after the fall and (I think) that we won't get it back until the life everlasting.]
One of the sections of the video prodded the viewer to consider the value of time.
The first sentence was something like, "To learn the value of a year, talk to a student who's failed a grade."
YUP. THAT'S ME. Two Fs. MUST . . . NOT . . . LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN, ever.
For your information, the video went on to encourage us all to consider the value of smaller portions of time, such as a month, a week, a day to day laborers to keep food on the table, an hour to lovers waiting all day to meet, a minute to one trying to catch a bus or train, and a second to one who barely missed an automobile collision.
This second means something! Glorify God now in all you do obeying him.
"Now these three abide: faith, hope and love; but the greatest of these is love."

Your article for Wesleyan Life sounds fantastic. Let me know when you get that done, I'd love to read it.
Also, I'm going to be headed to Bethel Seminary this fall. Can't wait to study a bit under McManus if I get the chance to take any of his classes. Is that book any good?
