Remember to use a timer

“For high blood pressure sufferers, simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins.  Remember to use a timer.” _Anomyous

This past Sunday my wife brought my phone to me reminding me to call my dad. I’ve been calling dad to pray with him at a set time on Sunday mornings for at least 25 years, you’d think I wouldn’t forget. But I do.

On that particular Sunday, I had thought about it earlier but had gotten so consumed in what I was doing that I had completely forgotten when the time came. Thankfully I had set a timer.

The ONE THING for today: If you make a promise, use a timer. If you made a commitment, use a timer. If it matters, use a timer.

Excuses seldom suffice for broken promises.
