I am committing to sabbath - moments of reflection. Stop and smell roses impulses. One minute vacations.
I'm too busy and know I'm too busy - so I stay busy! In the weeks ahead this will change. It needs to. There are too many God-moments being missed. There are too many really good, really important things that are overwhelming the Great things.
So it begins... I have a suspicion the first phase will be a time of detoxification. Slowing down takes a lot of work! Listening to silence can get real noisy until the extra stuff finally leaves my mind.
May the meditations of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my Strength and Deliverer.

Hey!
It's about time you updated your blog. I haven't checked in forever because I just knew you hadn't. Serves me right.
I am sooo praying for you and Connie. I am happy that you are 'slowing' down. It's time. I remember this Pastor I know telling his congregation that there is a difference between being 'busy' for God and actually serving God. Ring any bells???? Thought you might know him. He's a pretty great Pastor:)
Pastor Dave,
I am praying for you on your journey of solitude. I use to have a quote that read "Before you can speed up, you must first slow down." When I try to slow down I get hit with a hurricane.
I'll be working on this task for the rest of my life.:)
Take Care,
