Living on borrowed time?

Waiting is powerful.  Banns, which gave anyone within hearing the right to state why two named people should not be married, used to be published for about a month followed by a three month waiting period before a wedding could be held.  They say, “Marry in haste repent at leisure.”  When people wanted to divorce in the 1950s, they often had to wait a year without marital relations before divorce could be completed. 

Romans 12:7 reads, “Let him that ministers wait on his ministry.”
