Where’s My 48 Hour Day?

The semi-circle, working from rest, following your purpose, and bringing calm to life. It seems nearly impossible to not get caught up in the crazy & busy world we live in. Even in ministry there seems to more things to do, or that could be done, then there is time. None of these things are bad, and it feels like they are so important. In the whole scope of it all, the things we spend our time on can feel pointless in terms of enternity. I have things I would like to do for myself, but those things tend to get put aside so that I can try to “do it all” for others. It seems like a blessing and a curse. And then you through my personality into the mix, a perfectionist & procrastinator. It surprises me at times how my own thoughts and traits fight against each other. Now, I’m not talking about the ever-present battle with self and the sin nature, I’m just talking about this oddity I have of being at odds with myself. I guess it is somewhat battling against self, but there are times when I battle with myself, and both sides are good. People say it is right to take time for yourself now & then. I think this is true, yet I find myself battling against it, putting my needs aside to meet the needs of others. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with wanting to help others, or even giving up your own desires to meet the needs of others, God calls us to be servants. Well, I feel as though I’m babbling on. I need to be heading to bed.

You’ll see, from the previous photo post, that I am now an uncle. Congrats to my brother & sister-in-law.

I have a load, lol…I say that a lot apparently…anyways, I have a load of things I’d like to write about but my eyes are getting heavy, and it would be nice to get up and have some time before I head to work tomorrow. Nite, all!

    Wasteful Weekends, Geeks…Gotta Love Em

    So yeah, I pretty much wasted the weekend away again. Not totally, but I could have done a lot more than I did. I guess I sort of get tired of doing stuff, like work, all the time and want some time to just kick back and relax. I’m feeling like I’m kind of spinning my wheels with the web job. I really like to nail down the site design before I do the custom programming stuff. The problem is they’ve given me hardly anything to work with. Well Monday will have to be a big day to work on getting stuff going. I guess I’m going to worry less about the design and make sure the funcitonality is all there. So yeah, not much…

    To Blog or Not To Blog, Why Not

    As I was looking over the days RSS feeds I came across a news story on Digg by a mother. I just had to think again about this whole business of blogging. Even this past weekend as I looked through the classified ads that Vanessa had saved for me there was an article that talked about the dangers of blogging and trying to get a job. While I wouldn’t consider my blog to contain much of anything that is questionable, I still wonder about it all. I wonder if I should be so willing to participate in something that has so many dangers? Does my very involvement promote the activity to the youth that I am in contact with each week? Blogs in and of…

    About Time For A Post…

    Of course it has been awhile since my last post. It seems that blog world is a bit of a roller coaster ride. These days it just seems like the time runs short or there is just too much to mention for the time I have. Well, enough of that for now. So what have I been up to?

    Congrats on being an Uncle!

    Sometimes I feel like completely letting go of myself and wholely giving myself to the needs of others. Then, when people tell me that thinking of myself is normal,or natural, or okay, I feel selfish… But, since I can’t seem to completely let go of myself for longer than an hour of two, that’s something I’ll have to work on over the next few years.

    i just wanted to mention how I appreciate your “babbling.” God bless!
