Got my new calendar today. It is one of those really big ones that is about 4 ft square with a good sized square for every day of the year with a black felt tip pen to fill in stuff in the boxes. Got it fastened up on my office wall right behind my desk where I can write on it easily and see what is scheduled for the next days and weeks at a glance. First thing I did was start filling it up. Important things first. Fishing trip to Alska July 13th to 21st. Fishing trip to Minnesota last week of May. Hunting trip to Steens Mts with family third week in September. Cougar hunting trip to Wyoming last week of December.  On a more  ministry oriented note I put in a dozen speaking engagements at other churches, seminars I will attend for my own growth and edification, and major outreach events at JBC. It was amazing how quickly my whole next year was all planned and all the boxes were filled in. I wonder if that is a good thing?? I guess if I am absolutely sure that it is all God’s will it is, but with most things I never really asked God or thought or prayed about it much. I think what I will do is plan and schedule with as much wisdom as possible and then remain open and flexible to changes that God may bring and not fuss when they come.
