The summer I turned 12, I made a life-altering decision.
I decided to enter public school.
I had gone to a Christian school since the first grade.
I had just finished 6th grade.
But that summer, 1992, I decided to enter public school for my seventh grade year.
Now my friend Josh had always gone to public school.
HAnd he said, “Look, man, it’s so cool that you and I are going to start seventh grade together.
It’s going to be such a fun year.”
And then he said this: “And don’t worry — I’ll teach you everything you need to know about MC Hammer.
I’ll familiarize you with every major album of Kriss Kross, LL Cool J, Heavy D and the Boyz, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.
I’ll get you up to speed.”
Now I’m not sure what’s more disturbing: Is it more disturbing that I didn’t know who those artists were in the summer of 1992? or is it more disturbing to you that I still can name them off one by one 30 years later?
Regardless, why was that important to us as 12 year olds?
Because that was the music of 1992.
If I didn’t know these artists and these songs, I risked missing the boat.
Maybe you can relate to this fear of missing the boat.
Being behind while everyone else is ahead.
This is such a thing for young adults today that we’ve coined a new word: FOMO.
It’s an acronym: Fear Of Missing Out.
Fear of missing the boat.
Alot of men feel like we’ve missed the boat if we haven’t had certain adventures before we’re too old to do them.
Alot of moms who stay at home feel like they’ve missed the boat on their career.
Alot of moms who work outside the home feel like they’ve missed the boat on their kids.
But zoom out beyond questions of career and parenting: what if we miss the boat on our purpose as human beings?
What if we come to the end of our lives and realize not just that we missed the boat as parents our spouses or on our career; what if we discover we’ve missed the boat on the very purpose for which God made us?
Today’s Takeaway:
Worship is happening all around us as all creation glorifies its Creator.
