SAVE FOR LATER



For the longest time now,  I've had this draft I titled, "Save For Later" just sitting around, waiting for the appropriate time to use for a future BlermonTM (blog-sermon).  

I loved "Save For Later."

I just loved knowing it was there.  It gave me great comfort knowing that if all else failed, and I just didn't know what to BleachTM (blog-preach) on some day, I could pull up my good 'ole, mostly written 'Save For Later' BlermonTM, shine it up and be good for the day.  

It was BlermonTM insurance.  And when you BleachTM (blog-preach) a semi-daily (really daily) BlermonTM like I do, BlermonTM insurance let's you sleep at night.

Well, as things go, today happened to be "that day".  For the life of me, I just could not think of what to write about.  No matter what I tried, nothing came to mind, nothing seemed right.  I was starting to panic when it hit me;  "I can use the 'Save For Later' BlermonTM!  Perfect!  I'm saved!"

So I popped over to where I had it stored and happily clicked it open.  It felt so good to know that within a few minutes, I'd have my BlermonTM for the day.

Then I saw it.  The blank page.

Yes.  Blank.  Nothing else.  Except for the title on top, "Save For Later."

That was it.  There was no partially award-winning BlermonTM beginnings there, no mostly worked out witty paragraphs, no cool BlermonTM illustrations.  There weren't even any scriptures thrown down as a BlermonTM starter.

For whatever reason, I had many weeks ago, decided that I should open up a page, title it, "Save For Later" and then store it away.


This is, what we BleachersTM (blog-preachers) like to call: worthless.

It is no help whatsoever, to open up a blank page, slap some lame titles on them and then store them for later.  At best, this saved me around 4 seconds today.  

Thank-you, Me.  Thank-me so very me-much for the me-help.  Or to put it more clearly...

THANKS FOR NOTHING 'SAVE FOR LATER' BLERMONTM!!!  WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW!?  HOW IN THE WORLD SHOULD I FILL UP A WHOLE BLERMONTM WITH NO IDEAS AND NOTHING ON THIS PAGE?  ANSWER ME THAT!  ANSWER ME!!

Hold on.  I think something wonderful has just happened.  Believe it or not, I think I just did it.

Insert scripture here...
"The Lord works in mysterious ways."

Whew.

As together we stand and sing.
