It’s amazing what a prepositional misunderstanding can do. I had an appointment set up in Riverside, California, recently. The email instructions indicated that I was to meet at the Marie Calender's in Corona. The instructions detailed that I was to "take the 91 to Riverside and get off on Main Street." So I took the 91 all the way to Riverside and couldn’t find a Main street. I didn’t realize that Corona was a town on the way to Riverside. I was supposed to take the 91 toward Riverside but get off on main in Corona. Silly me.

I was thankful that the mistake gave rise to some significant reflection. I sometimes think in terms of “passing through this world on the way to heaven.” I love living for eternity, walking in the shadow of Christ's second coming, longing for heaven. I cherish what Paul wrote..........

Phil 3:19-21

"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."

Yes-----headed to heaven. However, I don’t want to miss any divine appointments on the way. I almost missed an appointment in Corona because my mind was on the "to" destination of the highway beyond. So, I’m thinking more about traveling heavenward, watching for stops and key “moments” on the way. I don’t want my urgency for getting to the destination cause me to miss anything on the way heavenward. Father, help me to be salt and light today as I live postured forward.
