Balance of Life and Work

This is my first blog so forgive me if at some point I start to ramble.

There are times when I look around at the friends that I have, and don't get me wrong I love each and everyone of my friends. But I wonder sometimes is this fast pace life that we lead the one that The Lord has laid out for us. Everyone talks about The Lord wants us to do this and that, but don't you think sometimes he just wants us to sit and relax.

I enjoy the times where my wife and I just lay on the couch watching a movie. I enjoy the times where I can go with a buddy to a building that he built and just be amazed that a man named FISH can build such a great building. I love the times at the lake with two close friends, sometimes more, where we can just sit and talk about what is going on and hear the waves crash from a passing boat.

Of course, as I am writing this, I am thinking about the million things I need to do at work, the songs that we are playing this weekend in leading worship at Visio Dei, the upcoming NC STATE football game, and the fact that I need to wash up after a softball game. Further more, while I am thinking about all of the "stuff" that fills my day, my beautiful wife is in the bed asleep and I have not joined her because I cannot calm down my brain enough in order to lay still and not wake her every second.

I will finish up with a question, can we truly honor The Lord with our lives, when we are going so fast and doing so much that we barely have time to breath?
