DEADLINES AMUSE Me
For a long time, a sign on my desk read "Deadlines Amuse Me!" I've always loved deadline---for everyone else. I'd run for president of the Procrastinator's Club of America, but I never get around to sending in the nomination form. Give me a deadline, and I'll drag my feet until the eleventh hour. But then, stand clear, cause that's when I dive headlong into whatever it is I've had weeks to do, but have put off until the last minute. I've thought and planned, but haven't taken action. Guess I'm no different than Lot, who hung around Sodom too long. Not that much different than the foolish virgins in Jesus' story about the wedding hall doors being locked. Mom and Dad always told me, "never put off until tomorrow what you can do today." How many of us handle our faith the same way, telling ourselves "there's always tomorrow?"
