I was surfing through the channels yesterday when i chanced upon my favorite channel .. BASKETBALL TV. It was a Bulls vs Knicks game during a playoff game but the year was 1987. People looked so young. Scottie Pippen was so thin, Charles Oakley was still playing for the Bulls and Michael Jordan still had hair!!! It was like "Back to the Future". How time flies...
This made me reminisce about Jordan, how he demolished all my teams during the post season. How he made my friends cry when he scorched the Knicks, Pacers, Cavs, Suns and my Lakers ( pre KObe era). Today, Jordan can't jump and is retired (now the general manager of the Charlotte Bobcats). How time flies..
I remember me being a Snoopy pants wearing, high waisted and braced-smiling teenager. Today, after 10 years i'm an overweight husband and father. HAHA!!! Imagine the kids around you today? Those teenagers who we sometimes neglect cause we are "busy" ministering to "older" people? Those kids and teens would be adults in a blink of an eye. How time flies...
That is why I love reaching out and spending time with young people. They are/will be the leaders of this nation. I am so pumped up and excited to see young people im mentoring reaching out and making a difference for God. Some of these kids are already working, making an impact in their respective industries.Some have awesome families. Some are even pastors,campus ministers and missionaries. How time flies...
Are you currently mentoring anyone who would be making a difference 10, 25 or 50 years from now? I HOPE YOU ARE !!! Cause we all know time flies...
