Just Plain Busy

I have had one of the busier weeks in recent memory this past week, only to be followed by an even busier week. I think I am going to go crazy (see picture at left). Really, this week has been very good. I had an epiphany on Saturday evening and that has made my dark night of the soul come to an end. So, even in the midst of a whole lot to do, I am content.

The weekend is what is scaring me. Beginning Friday, I have to drop off my little girls at preschool, then go teach 4 voice lessons which end at 3:00p, then I have to be back at church before 5:00p for a wedding rehearsal. Then my wife and I are going to the rehearsal dinner at one of the nicest places in the area while all three girls stay at the church for our monthly date night. Then, Saturday morning at 8:00a, I am teaching a seminar on the Presence of God at another church. Should be fun. Then I have the wedding on Saturday evening at 5:00 in which I am singing 4 songs. I never sing that many songs in a wedding.

Sunday is always fun, but this week since we have a wedding on Saturday, I had to take out all of our equipment for the contemporary service. So, I will be at the church by 6:30a at the latest to re-set things up. Fun. Then Sunday evening after I am finished practicing with the youth praise band, we will be loading up our sound equipment to get ready for a youth worker's retreat where I am leading worship Monday evening at Laguna Beach. And, interspersed between all of these events, I will have to remind my children of my name.

I guess I would rather be busy then have time to think too much. But I would like to be able to think a little.
