Rev. Marty Vershel (6-1-14)

If we study Acts 1, when Jesus ascended into heaven, the disciples stood there watching and not moving. After some time, 2 angels appeared, asking them "Why are you standing here, looking toward heaven?” I think it was the angel's way of telling the disciples that the disciples have too much to do to just stand and stare.

Many of us act just like the disciples, we spend too much time just standing or sitting and staring. And like the disciples, we don’t have time to just stand and do nothing because there is too much to do. In the words of the late Larry Walters, world-famous lawn chair pilot, "a man can’t just sit around.”
