too many verbs.

I attend meetings. constantly.

I work.

I listen.

I worry.

I study.

I run (sometimes).

I stress.

I try.

I fix (or try).

I lead.

I micromanage.

I send way too many emails.

I play.

I over-commit and then commit not to ever again.

all verbs aren’t bad though, thus

I will nap.

I will relax.

I will read.

I will be still.

I will smile.

I will keep going.

I will enjoy and savor it all.

And crash sometimes next week with a sense of gratitude.

Praying doesn’t make your schedule less busy.

It makes your heart less busy.

  1. Excellent post, as usual.
    I have the book that the teaching/quote about prayer making your heart less busy comes from. Quite excellent, if you want to borrow it!
