# Chapter 121

The time is now. This was driven home both by our morning devotions that Brenda and I had together, and from the text that i got from my neighbor that they all three have a terrible case of coronovirus. They got the super sick version of this illness, the one like Jake had back in April, and we are praying for them and fixing chicken soup for them, even though with this virus you have no working taste buds it seems. But the time is now. And time is always in short supply, there never is enough, and the only moment you truly have at your disposal is now.

So what do you need to be doing now? The Now is the focus. What needs to happen Now? What needs to move to the top of your priority list, the top of your to-do list, the top of your actions and next steps? Who needs to move to the top of your lists? Who needs you right now? Who should be receiving your attention now? Which decisions about your finances should you be making now? Which commitments to your church should you be making now? And of course you have completely run out of Nows, but you understand that in here somewhere, are your nows, and mine lie elsewhere, because I have already done your nows and you have already done mine.

Many will read the above paragraph and continue in their paralysis and not do any of the Nows they need to be doing. Others will be overwhelmed and will choose to watch YouTube videos instead. Others will turn on the TV and turn off their brains, even if it is educational TV. Others will play candy crush and facebook and twitter, and all the Nows will fester and turn rotten, its moment of usefulness is now past. The time is now.
