Work and Church = Worch?

Ugh. It is officially that time of the year. Upwards game days are over, the video upgrade is complete, and the On Fire rallies are taking place. My superior is heading on vacation in a few days for a week and a half. That means I will be continually stressed out over everything, including Upwards Awards Night and changing all the clocks in the church for the upcoming time change.(Thanks, Mitch.)

There is a certain word that is running through my head right now... it starts with a vay and ends with a kayshun. It is a funny occurrence that I discovered on last years excursion away from worch. I felt alive again.

Is that bad to say? I don't think so. But, I suppose that shouldn't be an excuse to check out. I still can do different things. I've been working on some scripture memorization. I still need to stick with it. I'm slowly finally reading through Red Moon Rising, and it is resonating in my soul. Here is something I read last night:

"Here's the question: 'Will we allow the things that breaks God's heart to break our hearts too?' It'll mean more tears, more listening. It may even be the reason why so many of us struggle with our own personal burdens and heartaches-- God is allowing us to feel pain, to be weak and broken so that our prayers have power."


I suppose the other thing I need to do is continue to connect with other human beings. Yes, I just typed that. There are several of the people out there that I enjoy playin Settlers of Catan with and partaking of the M. F. Grape.
