2 Peter 3:9 NASB "The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance."We simply had to take our time! Today's verse is about not rushing things, taking things slowly so we don't perish and can find forgiveness! We needed to get the rather large man down the stairs, for he had fallen and broke both legs. Being on the third floor of the apartment building meant going slowly down the flights of stairs without causing him more harm. Each man took a handle on the specially design stretcher and slowly we began to walk him out. Rushing things would have only made the journey more difficult and most likely caused him pain beyond what he was already experiencing.  Many times we just need to slow down and focus rather than race ahead and cause more pain. Thank God He is patient with us all! Can I get an Amen to that! peace, tom
