Lots of information today. Lots to think about. I am getting to know one of my neighbors--living next door to each other since last July 15. She came in to talk after her church. I was in my threshold fixing my vacuum--changing the bag, fixing up the problems with electrical tape. In the process my neighbor, female, came home. We had talked last week about her state, very depressed and being forced to move out in 72 hours. Things have turned around on those fronts.

Today was about wondering if she was ready to date again--me too, actually. We confided, encouraged, and decided to walk and talk some more. The day was so beautiful here, we had a little lunch, and walked back. We watched people, houses, yards and landscaping, and fun talking. And more a little serious.

I was reminded that I let a lot of time go by before I invited this woman into my life. What was taking up my time? Classes of course. Shop. Errands. And just holing up in my townhouse watching tv, reading, and whatever else takes up time. In other words, wasting a lot of important time for time with God, as well as time for people--Christian or not, particularly not. It's time to turn that time use around. How about you?
