A movie quote says that if you are standing still you may miss something.  This is the initial moment when Ferris gets busy for the next two hours or so.  I understand that quote more than ever now.  The last two weeks flew by with one activity after the other.  Never did the normal craziness of life seem so appealing.  We will again be short and to the point tonight.  Processing these last days may take awhile.  We traveled to two major Texas universities with a wedding plus a talent show between.  Interruptions did seem more common place since the calendar was full.  Life has a way of doing that to you.  What matters is some good things came out of all of this travel.  A good time was had by all and perhaps even some divine moments will last for others.

Most weeks are full enough without the extra stuff to accomplish.  No task ever seems totally completed.  One crisis can lead right into another.  Questioning whether or not the train is heading your way is a lost cause.  You simply know it is coming so you can adjust to it.  My deepest wish is to do better with all of this.  Juggling all of the events of a day or week can become overwhelming.  Adding the usual expectations can only make it harder to swallow should you fall short.  I understand that most if not all of us deal with such issues.  Our world seems more complex even with technology to aid us.  Feels like every tool someone tells us will simplify our agenda only clutters up the mess.  How can we begin to get a handle on hurry?

You can never convince me there is a better way than to put God's purpose in the center of your world.  Doing this allows you to push aside the trivial to keep sight on the significant.  I said tonight that our enemy may not have to make us do evil things if he can keep us distracted.  Answering that temptation means holding on to the divine purpose with everything you have.  Center your entire being in God's resources daily.  How easy it is to neglect being alone with God with everyone calling for your attention?  Learn to bring whatever occurs in your world to be included in that divine purpose.  Things don't just happen if you are a believer.  God has a way or weaving our world together in His likeness.  Allow room in your activities for God to do His work.  Life may just go from a mess to a miracle when you grant Him room to operate.
