Other News:

In the book of Malachi, God was pretty upset with His covenant people. It seems that they were offering sacrifices as they should have been, but the sacrifices were blemished. In effect, they were offering God their "left-overs." The thought then occured to me that, in terms of time, I do the exact same thing way too often! Ouch! I go about my day, getting things done that "need" to get done (and honestly some things that don't really need to get done), and then work God into any time I might have left over. Or - I might shave off a sliver of "prime time" (the best part of the day for me), but it's not nearly enough time. Praise God that He lovingly encourages us to bring our best time to Him as a sacrifice! It's the best thing we can do!
