poop happens: kairos

kairos

i remember reading once a comparison of KARIOS vs CHRONOS, and it impressed me in the sense that sometimes God will find us in the most painful and least likely situations. kairos defined is when the past and future of chronos take a back seat to the joy of the present moment.......sacred time. it's those moments when nothing else matters but right now.

living by the "clock" is an irritant of the modern world that is very much rooted in control and lack of faith. as we all go marching off to our "jobs" that pay us well ( or not ) we find ourselves controlled by the expectations of others who have their own agendas at the forefront.. if we are "good" and "nice" and "follow all the rules" we will be rewarded with a nice "gift" from a "gift company catalog" when we pass the arbitrary "milestones".

my 25th anniversary celebration as an "employee" was spent on the phone with a good friend whom i had missed talking to. i was long past feeling loyal to the company and more into listening to my friend's update on her life. to this day, she still doesn't know that i was dressed and about to walk out the door.........

there is a minister within each of us waiting to serve. sometimes it's through the "day job" and sometimes it's on comp time. that's labor speak for kairos.
