Counting Sheep.

It's late, Karen's asleep, I'm tired and tomorrow promises to be a huge day of practicing law. All the while, I can't sleep. "Why?" you ask...that's a reasonable question. I'll tell you why...I can't shut my brain down. And, ya know what? I'm not thinking of anything deep or great. Nope...I'm thinking of stupid stuff...things that have zero significance.

For example, just moments ago, I had a lengthy debate (with myself, naturally), as to why we say:

"If I were to get hit by a bus tomorrow..." or

"If you leave here tonight and get hit by a bus...".

We ALWAYS say "bus"!! Why a bus? Do we really stand a much better chance of survival if we are hit by a sedan or SUV? Why not a herd of bison? My conclusion, for the moment, is that we all have a little drama queen in us.

Anyway, you see my problem. Unfortunately, this little test that I am running right now, that is "does blogging make it easier for one to turn his brain off and go to sleep?", is not trending the way I had hoped.

Sweet Dreams (not really)

Just a quick update...

Karen and I have embarked on an exciting, but challenging, crusade. God has finally convinced us (okay, confession, we have finally listened to God) that WE are the keepers of our time and WE, and only WE, are the ones who have to be disciplined in guarding our "balance". It's exciting in that we feel empowered to take control. Buuuuuuut, it's challenging because it is so difficult to determine what it is that we should get involved in.

This past Sunday, for the first time in more than six years, I went to church and didn't have any responsibilities at the "Warehouse". I HATED IT! I DID! But, we are committed to sitting still over the next several weeks and just...listening. As Karen might tell you, I'm not great at listening. I do feel strongly that God will put us into service somewhere, we just pray that we are patient to hear from Him (on His timeline). We covet your prayers on this...THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
