After a busy day and night, I tend to "feel my age" the next day. That is true today. After a wonderful board meeting in Murfreesboro, TN, Sue and I "hit the road" headed home. Since she had been in Kentucky with her family for a week, we had both cars. Sometimes she was in the lead and other times I was out in front. We traveled with the traffic--and it is fast in Tennessee--and only stopped twice. Both of us commented how good it was to be home last night. Let me share something that I learned in reading Nehemiah 8:10. No person was even busier than Nehemiah in getting the wall rebuilt around Jerusalem in a record fifty-two days. The people worked day and night. Nehemiah explained that "the joy of the Lord" was His strength. I can say from experience that this is a true statement. Keep the joy of the Lord fresh and it is amazing how quickly strength is renewed.
