The Coming Storm

So, this is probably going to be one of the last nights where things are somewhat normal.  After tonight, the church Easter Trilogy ramps up with full rehearsals and everything will start coming together in time for Sunday.  Three weeks of chaos to follow.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to take it.

Lately I’ve been thinking about loss.  I’ve lost a lot in the last few years, certainly.  The only thing that keeps me going is the thought that at some point things must get better.  But busy isn’t better.  As it is I have practically no time to relax.  I’m constantly moving from one meeting to another, to and from work and church.

I just fear that I’m becoming less effective at church because of it.  I used to have all sorts of time to think about a problem and work on a solution, spend hours and hours researching and testing, developing, and preparing.  But now, I no longer have that time; I’m either at work, at church for a  service, or asleep.

Oh for the giddy days of my youth.

    youth does not neccessarily = giddy days…. I know what you mean though… when there doesn’t seem to be anytime for hanging out and having fun life starts to get stressful… Then again, I’m starting to learn how to cut back, I dropped my most time-consuming class, and it really helped… weighing what needs to be done is still not my strong suit, but i’m getting better at it.

    Done!  But what are you doing up at one in the morning?  You should be asleep!
