@Doug: “We must first understand the sowing process prior to understanding the rest.” It’s taken me a along time to actually start getting this in my DNA. Before it was more head knowledge that heart knowledge. As for your Dougisms, I’ve been tweeting them! Now, you’re on twitter, you’ll be swamped with followers! Thanks for your encouragement!
@ Jason: Great to have you here, Jason!

Now you’re talking my language. I’ve spent so much of my life racing the sun.
This past winter we stayed in a 50+ campground (although we weren’t quite old enough.)Those folks were never in a hurry but accomplished more than folks running around at warp speed. I learned how to live watching them.

“And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 The sower sows the word…” ~Jesus , Mark 14:13-14

We must first understand the sowing process prior to understanding the rest.

My “Dougisms” have become more meaningful; ” Take your time you’ll get there faster” and “If you don’t quit you win.” (Gal. 6:9)

You’re on to something here. You take time to sow and then water with kind replies.

I see a bountiful harvest on your horizon.

@Bradley: “That’s what sells these days, right? The app? But God uses the slow-cooker.” That’s a good one, Bradley. I didn’t even think of the killer app analogy. You should blog that one!
@Heather: “Many today expect instant gratification for their work – the “Beam me up, Scottie” attitude” Yep. That’s another good one, Heather. Thanks!
@Maureen: “I wish faith was more like hyperspeed..” Me, too! Yeah, another original Star Wars Trilogy nut!
@Russell: Hey, you have so many good songs that apply spiritually. You should look into blogging that as your niche!
@Kevin: “God is about the journey AND the destination.” Wow, another quotable gem. No wonder you’re a blogging pastor! And wahoo! Another sci-fi fan in the house!
@Bridget: Oh, shoot. Did we finally find out we’re not twins! LOL.
@Anne: Thanks for the pointer to Rachelle’s post. I’m going there to check it out after this. btw, my skulls pretty hard too
@Peter: Yes, I so agree – that it is damaging. I think it seeps in without people even realizing it. Such an earthly message that is farthest from the spiritual truth. .. And check — another sci-fi fan!

I love this.

We are so much an instant gratification culture, and it’s so damaging to us, our faith and the gospel.

I love Sci-fi too… and they so often come so close to real spiritual truths.

Rachelle Gardner blogged yesterday about patience. Now this. So I guess the message of staying hard at work while still waiting upon the Lord is one He really wants me to get through my thick skull? *sigh*

Great, great package for the message, Bonnie.
