Change

"It was not always plain to me that pursuing God's glory would be virtually the same as pursing my joy.  Now I see that million so people waste their lives because they think these paths are two and not one."  - John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life

Two things the past days remind me of one truth.  Change is constant.  The death of Stuart Scott, ESPN anchor and the announcement that Knight Foundation Akron program director Josh McManus is returning to Detroit seem unrelated, but remind us that change is all around us.

Scott remained one of those personalities that you always looked forward to seeing.  You hoped his personality in real life would be the same as what you picked up on screen.  According to the testimonies his colleagues and friends gave on air and in print, it seems he fought the good fight with grace and vigor.

Living with Christ - I have no idea of Scott's spiritual journey - is better than walking my own path.  Rest in peace, Stuart Scott.

After only five months Josh McManus is leaving Akron for an incredible opportunity in Detroit.  Our loss is Detroit's gain.  I was impressed with Josh's grasp of the situation in Akron and his "all in" approach.  He'll be missed but time marches on and waits for no one.

Change is constant.  Those who adapt thrive.  Life is fleet, but neither disease not moving across the country can change our desire to be the change we wish to see.  Change with Christ as the head of life.  Pursue God, keep your eyes on Him.

Only one life,
'Twill soon be past;
Only what's done
For Christ will last.
