RETREAT DAY

I learned a lot today. First, I have a tough time doing things just for fun. I tried to spend the whole day doing nothing productive, but it wasn't easy. I sure did learn a lot though by just observing the outside world. I am so consumed by my own family and my own situation that I have been missing the picture. I have become the "mad" parent. We have stopped making the simple fun. That needs to change. I also need to stop being so concerned about sleep and worry more about wasting my days. I know that I need to take care of myself, but that seems to be more about eliminating stuff from my life. I also need to think about what God wants as far as the actions I am living. I know Kathy is going to be mad a lot, but we have to deal with that. Finally, taking time to myself is a really good idea. It's time to get back to reading, learning about God and taking time to pray. Football season has been great, but it's time for a change.
