As I write this morning, I am staring at a blank white

page that I need to fill with words. Actually, I need to
partially fill it. If I fill it completely, it will not fit on the
Proclaimer. There have been weeks that I have had to
brutally cut down my thoughts so they would fit. There
have also been weeks that I have struggled to come up
with 200 words. Sometimes I wonder if anyone actually
reads what I write every week. I toyed with the idea of
writing gibberish one week to see if anyone would
notice, but Bridget would not let me. In all seriousness,
I am grateful that I have this space to fill each week, and
I am blessed to pastor a church like Pleasant Ridge.
Today, you may not have a space to fill with words, but
you do have a space. Every day that we wake up we are
given a new, clean space to fill with our actions and
words. Some days we struggle to fit everything in the
space, and some days we struggle to accomplish
anything worthwhile. Sometimes we wonder if it even
matters what we do with our space, and we are
tempted to fill our space with doodles and meaningless
gibberish.

Welcome New Member

Psalm 90.12 says, Teach us to number our days, that

we may present to You a heart of wisdom. (NASV) The
Psalmist challenges us to value every day. We should
realize that our time here is short and the opportunity
to leave something meaningful behind is small. This
week I want to challenge you to look closely at the gift
that God has given you the gift of a space. God has
given you an opportunity to do something special.
What will you do with it?
Will you fill your space this week with gibberish or will
you fill your space this week with actions and words
that prove to the world how great your God is? I pray
that we will all use every inch of every space we are
given in the service of our amazing God.
