Time. Everyday contains the same amount: 24 hours. The problem is that, as we age, we discover there are fewer days. Bill Tameus of the Kansas Star once said, “Midlife crisis is that moment when you realize your children and your clothes are about the same age.” Sure, we can whine and moan about getting older or about missed opportunities, or we can embrace what we have. I like what Ken S. Keyes Jr. said: “To be upset over what you don’t have is to waste what you do have.”
At The Gathering Place we seek to engage people to find life that is fulfilling. Everday. Any age. Yes, we talk a lot about Jesus, but that’s because we’ve come to realize He has a lot to say about purpose in everyday life. I think you’d be amazed to read how many times in the Bible Jesus invited people to discover who He claimed to be and the power He made available to live a great life. Jesus wasn’t pushy, but He was direct. In the Gospel of John, chapter 10, Jesus says, “I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better than they ever dreamed of.”
Life is a journey; some of us have been on the road longer than others. The Gathering Place is about assisting each other on the journey. You are welcome to stop by on a Sunday sometime; we meet at St. Martin de Porres High School. Our services start at 10:00 am.
