"What's important?"

My wife’s family gathers for a week at the beach on the East Coast every summer. We have a potential gathering of about 40 people, but due to some conflicts only had about 30 there this year. And we all enjoy the closeness of one large beach house.

Of course the joy of all of this family reunion time is catching up on what’s happened in the last year. And we eat as many meals as possible together. We lay out on the beach together, play in the ocean together, walk together—generally have a fantastic time.

This summer we added one more "together event." A brother-in-law brought his DirectTV dish and receiver, hooked it up to the TV, and we watched our nephew Dan Uggla play second base for the Florida Marlins. Our family schedule revolved around watching Daniel play. The Marlins had an afternoon game one day and so another brother-in-law brought his XM radio and we listened to the game. Daniel playing baseball was important to us.

Is your time with God important enough for you to schedule around it today?
