PROCRASTINATION
II Corinthians 8:10-11
"And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago, but now you must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there must be a completion out of what you have."
Manana! One of my favorite words. Why do today what you can do tomorrow? The problem is that the days slip by, then the weeks, and months, and years, and I still haven't done it. How many times have I said, "I want to .....", but never get around to doing it. Paul is referring to giving offerings, but it could apply to most anything – prayer, Bible study, dieting, visiting a friend, or any other good thing. I start the project but don't complete it. I've decided it is better to do it expeditiously than to have it niggling on my brain. It is better to get it done than to say a year -- or a life -- later, "shoulda, woulda, coulda."
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: When it comes to doing something good, just do it without procrastinating.

Have a "today" day. Love you.
