Busy is not Always Bad

.....But it does keep you from keeping up with your blog.

Ok, my last blog had captain Phil in it.  I have to admit, watching Deadliest Catch the last two weeks, knowing that Phil dies before the end of the season, is sad.  But that aside, ever wonder what life would be like if you knew the end of every circumstance before the end.  I am really thankful I don't.  I'm afraid I'd miss too much of the journey simply because things don't always end like I expect.

I know for a fact that I have made decisions that if I'd known the end, the price, the pain, the stretching me; I would have probably said no way!  But alas, I had no conscious reality of the implications of the journey, therefore I decided.  Am I sorry?  Absolutely not!  I am so very thankful that I made the choice, even if the journey from that choice was difficult!

I do know that one huge result of making a decision to follow our heart is the satisfaction of knowing you went for it all!  Any of us can stay in the doldrums of complacency!  Any of us can sell our dreams to the lowest bidder of peer pressure and desire to fit in!  Any of us can continue going with the flow because we are afraid of the response from family and friends when we swim away upstream!  Any of us can care more about pleasing people than pleasing God or even our own passionate pursuit of destiny!

I am busy!  Working the plan!  Getting a masters degree!  Pushing for revival in our church, youth, and children!  Meeting new people!  Listening to new ideas!  Thinking!  Loving!! Helping feed the hungry!!  I am busy in pursuit of something better for myself, my wife, my boys, and my church!  Busy is not always bad....as long as you are not busy doing nothing!

Until next time....
