Have you ever tried to run through deep, soft sand? Or even worse, running through water along the coast that’s just about knee deep. It’s nearly impossible. You spend a lot of energy without going much faster than a walk. And if you do it long enough, you’ll end up falling down.

That’s how my life has felt the last few weeks. Crazy stuff going on at work has had me in meetings more than in my office. As interim youth minister (along with Tammy and another part-time staffer), we’ve been barely keeping our heads above water with event after event (staring with our Halloween night to this weekends Disciple Now), keeping the Sunday school classes upright and moving forward, and evaluating minister candidates. Tammy’s facing some health issues. And all of my various sports and hobbies have been stagnant.

With that said, let me assure you I am richly blessed. God has smiled on our home in ways I can’t explain, express, nor ever deserve. I just needed to vent a little and that’s what blogs are for, right?

Thanks to you, my humble readers, for your comments, cross-links, etc., and the smiles you’ve brought me. Don’t worry about me. God is my strength. It just feels good to whine about life once in a while. Just don’t let it become a habit! (That’s a note-to-self, by the way. Nothing more.)
