One More Day

The Good News Today Is...it is Friday. I don't typically wish away the days but I am so hoping for a little bit of rest this week-end. I worked straight through last week-end and this whole week has been nothing but a blur. When we do that to ourselves we start slipping up with our spiritual life. There doesn't seem to be enough time to pray, meditate, rest in the Lord. It's work, dishes, cooking, cleaning, a little sleep and more work. It is always when we need it the most that our spiritual life suffers, because we don't put it first. Many famous (and very busy) clergy and spiritual leaders have written about the dilemma, and many have chosen to get up at 4am to lock themselves in their prayer closet, knowing that they need that time with God to keep up their strength for the busy day ahead. I guess I'm just not there yet...I'm still hoping for Saturday to get here so I can sleep in...just one more day...
