Swinging with life's pendulum.

Two days ago, the high temperature was 80. This morning when I got up, the wind chill was -4! How's that for a serious pendulum swing!

Isn't that just like life? Just when you think you've got some momentum going, the pendulum swings the other direction. Ok, maybe it isn't always that way, but we must never make the mistake of thinking we've got it all figured out and under control.

James 4:13-17 (The Message) - And now I have a word for you who brashly announce, "Today — at the latest, tomorrow — we're off to such and such a city for the year. We're going to start a business and make a lot of money." You don't know the first thing about tomorrow. You're nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief bit of sun before disappearing. Instead, make it a habit to say, "If the Master wills it and we're still alive, we'll do this or that." As it is, you are full of your grandiose selves. All such vaunting self-importance is evil. In fact, if you know the right thing to do and don't do it, that, for you, is evil. 

My plan on this icy day is to stay in and warm and catch up on a few "back burner" items. I pray that God gives me ears to hear Him if He has a different plan.

Question: How will you fit your day into His plan?
