What would you do? If you had the power to push a button and bring all the world, except for you, to an abrupt halt, how would you invest those moments?
This plot has been explored in movies and tv shows. To see just one example, watch the clip below. But what if it happened to you? What differences would you make in your life? In your community? In the world?
In the Twilight Zone episode, “A Kind of Stopwatch,” the main character decided he would use his new-found time to steal from a bank vault. I tend to think along different lines here at Emerald Hills.
You see, there’s always something to do. Whether it’s volunteering outdoors around the 61-acre campus (help pressure-wash a picnic table, then later, stain it), or helping cook for a crew of visiting missionary recruits in training, or caring for a crop of young missionary kids (or “third-culture kids” as they call them now), the story is the same – we always have more to do than we have available hands.
So, if you ever figure out how to “stop time” in your world to make time to volunteer for the sake of the Great Commission, we promise, it will end better than the Twilight Zone story.
