It’s been a wild few weeks…charge conference meetings & forms…Fall Festival planning… working with youth…small groups…new assistant…not to mention I’ve been wrestling with the seven deadly sins for seven weeks…now I am trying to get immunization shots to go to Haiti on a work trip and well, enough excuses…I’m back at least till I get so busy again that I need to drop something. So during times like this (when one is very busy) we often think we are too busy to spend time with God, or at least we can make it without God easily for a time. I’ve made that mistake before…but over the years I’ve learned it’s then I’m actually too busy not to spend time with God. It’s when you are super busy that you need the guidance of the Holy Spirit to keep you on course, for it’s then you are ever more susceptible to the lies of satan. It’s when we find ourselves in the darkness of confusion and doubt that we need God’s word to provide light for our paths (Psalm 119:105)…and aren’t we commanded to live as children of the Light? So having said that, know that if I stop blogging for a time, I’m busy but I’ve decided I can do without this (blog) more than I can do without my personal time with God & family...until then, maybe I can post every day of November...maybe not.

Actually, by not seeing a new posting from you, it may reinforce the importance of spending time with God. How's that for giving you 'an out' for posting for a LONG time?!?!
It's not that blogging is important or expected. That was meant as just a little ribbing for the lenght it was up there. As many others we all get busy with other things and priorities take 1st place. GOD is priority #1. I myself let other things get in my way and they will distract me from good ole #1. As has been a little here lately. Sometimes even our health problems will keep us from #1 when you let them take over your life.
Thanks for your understanding...
