I always feel busy. I always feel like I need to be in a hurry because, well, there’s all this stuff I have to do. Truth? Yeah, I do so very little because there’s so much I want to do that I get overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of it that I decide to do something like surf facebook or look at flickr pics or something else that will accomplish next to nothing on the List of Great Things I Must Accomplish.

I’ve been working on a new song (a lament) for weeks now… why is it taking me weeks? Because I don’t have time, of course! I have so much on my plate - so many things to take care of… taking time to sit down and write a song that God has given me to write is just so, well, time-consuming. This could take me hours of dedicated time to sit and finish the lyrics and then, ugh, I need to create a melody that doesn’t sound cheesy… and then - I have to figure out chords to play with that melody.

I’m in the middle of reading, like 6 books - well, I say “in the middle” when I’ve been “in the middle” of them for at least a year (if not more). You see, reading takes TIME and I’m busy. I have too many irons in the fire and too many other irons just sitting there waiting their turn. I can’t just ignore them - they need validation.

I’ve got two beautiful girls who love their daddy. But, you see, I’m busy. I have emails to read and songs to write and books to read - not to mention all of my commitments. Sorry sweetie - can’t read to you right now, daddy’s busy (surfing facebook). Haven’t I already told you that daddy’s busy (looking at flickr pics)? Wow - that’s really a pretty… whatever that is. Yes, sweetie, daddy will be done in a little bit… just be patient, okay?

I haven’t been getting The Quiet Time in lately. Pretty high up there on the List of Great Things I Must Accomplish. But, you see, I’ve been really, really busy. I have this new blog and it requires just the right template and that template requires tweaking. Wow - 1:00 am already? Ugh - well, gonna have to skip The Quiet Time because I need at least 5 hours of sleep so that I’m semi-awake enough to continue down The List of Great Things I Must Accomplish.

Lately I’ve noticed that I’m tired a lot. Why? Because I’m not getting enough sleep. Duh! Have you been paying attention? I have much greatness left on the List of Great Things I Must Accomplish that are just not getting accomplished and I’ve promised that I’ll get to the next one right after I check this facebook entry… or, wow, cool! That’s an awesome Flickr pic… wonder how they took that? HDR? Yeah, gotta learn that!

So much time… so little to do.
