I dropped off copies of my book about Comer's WWII adventures to him in the Assisted Living Center. He was not doing well. His leg was in great pain, and he wasn't sure why. It had slowly been getting worse. Fortunately, I had some good news to cheer him with. Park Road Books, the only independently owned remaining bookstore in Charlotte, had agreed to have Comer and me come on Veteran's Day, November 11, from 2-3 for a book signing. Comer warned me that if he felt like he did today, he could not go even for that hour. But we pray whatever is going on with his leg will resolve by then.
This was short notice for the bookstore, and they offered we might want to wait till 2013, so we could properly advertise. They are booked till then, except strangely for this Veteran's Day slot. If you ask me, God was pointing right at that Veteran's Day opening and saying, "Seize it!"
"He is 93," I told the bookstore owner, "I don't think we better wait till 2013."
So Veteran's Day it is.
It is always tempting to put off what we should do till tomorrow, or next week, or next month. The timing will be better, we will be able to gather more support, better skills, etc. The problem with that attitude is for some of us, next month won't come...maybe not even tomorrow. I have always been of the mindset that what we should do today, DO today.
1 Chronicles 29:5 (NIV)
...Now, who is willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord today?”
