I had started a Video Blog last year. I ended up not doing any thing this year in that vain.
Well it may be a good thing. I am retyping my first three episodes and will be working on more this next week. I am gathering items to help me make the videos a little more professional looking.

But when thou art bidden,...
The Sweetness of Patience
Have you ever plucked fruit prematurely?
Perhaps you were allured by its vibrant color and sweet scent moving through the air. But when you took the first bite, you realized it lacked the ripeness you anticipated. Everything seemed right at first glance, but there was one missing ingredient…
Time.
Even the simple act of picking fruit can teach us about time and patience:
"Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You, too, be patient and stand firm because the Lord's coming is near."
James 5:7-8
The author, James, penned these words under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to a community of new Jewish converts to Christianity, dispersed throughout various regions.
