Pause

Ahhhh. I don't do well when I get too many things going at once. Not that I have any one BIG thing or anything, but just a whole lotta whole lotta little things. I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off today. I need just a moment to make things stop.

This begins one of the busiest times of the year for me. I need some centering. I don't want to hate the holidays. I don't. But there's Thanksgiving - which means taking time off work, an extra service, family stuff, and the routine is tampered with. Then begins Advent - which requires special consideration, and shopping, and special stuff at church all throughout the month, budget meetings, planning services and special services, putting together annual reports, making plans for a new year, changing over books and records, and travel and family and whatever else. I know, I know. I'm not trying to bring anybody down.... it's just the way it is. I don't want to hate it. Really.

Enough.

I decided today that we're going to do a group Lectio Divina exercise at this Wednesday night's B.S. session. Lectio Divina is spiritual reading. There is a great site HERE that explains it pretty well. This is also the first place I've seen with a plan for a group setting. I like it. I hope it goes over well. We will use the evening text from the Daily Office (thanks for the tip, Tom).

Okay.... I think I'm breathing again. There are a million things I've been meaning to blog about. Just seems like I don't have time, or it's stuff I can't really talk about.

hmm.
