Instructions Before Reading

I stand by the right to publish incomplete snippets. The point of this blog is to share life. If there is a unity in my life, it will become apparent what that unity is. No post is a complete thought, theology, worldview, or poem within itself, it must be taken within the context of the entirety of this blog, considerations of who I am in public as well as who I am in extreme situations like when I am forced to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to help my wife jump start her car in 20 degree weather.

I recognize my right as a flawed human being to do the following: 1) be wrong, 2) change my mind, 3) be inconsistent, 4) have improper grammar and spelling conventions. You are just as flawed, wrong, capricious, and prone to theological alteration as I am... so get over it.

What I Can Do With Five Minutes?

I'm reading Ben Franklin's Autobiography. A story of a very interesting, resourceful, and self-inflating person. Franklin was dedicated to self-betterment to the point that he kept charts on success (or failure) in his self defined virtues as well as a rigid schedule of work, study, and even liesure. Which leaves me wondering, what can I do with the next five minutes.

We have opportunity in each moment to convey some sort of significance to the world around us, or to prepare to convey significance at a later moment.

I spent my five minutes sitting down to convey and prepare to convey with my writing (something I don't do often enough).

What will you do with the next five minutes?
