“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; August 19, 2008

          I recently heard a friend of mine use a phrase that I hadn’t heard is quite a while.  When describing someone making a mountain out of a molehill, he asked; “Do we major in minors and minor in majors?”.  In essence, the question wonders if we spend too much time on things that really don’t matter too much.  Are we consumed by issues that aren’t all that important, while allowing some of the weightier things to go unattended?

          There is a modern saying that ponders, “What’s the big deal?”.  Often, this phrase is used to challenge the significance of an event; but, there could be another side to the query.  Have we ever really stopped to ask, “What’s the big deal?”:  “What’s really important?”, “What should be occupying our time and effort?”

          So, what is the big deal?   What should we be pursuing as the major issues in our lives?  There will be a day when we will have to account for our pursuits in life; will they appear significant or will they turn out to be pretty minor?

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
