Busy as a Beaver

I really don’t know how busy beavers are, but I’ll use the expression anyway.

Life seems to be picking up speed right now. I thought things slowed down around summer time?

This week my boss and a co-worker are on vacation and I’m covering for both of them – AND there is an ALL DAY staff meeting on Thursday. Couple that with the fact that I’m speaking on Sunday AND I have a letter of recommendation to write for a friend. There’s also my self-imposed deadline of two weeks to understand and lead family groups. Did I mention we have a one-month old?

I’m thinking of hiring some beavers to be my assistants. I’ve heard they’re pretty busy guys. (Could you imagine a beaver changing my son’s diaper?)

Are you slowing down or speeding up for the summer?

Survey Says…. Reading Your Bible

I have a question to ask of you, my six loyal readers.

In a few weeks, I will be speaking at RPC on the importance of having a quiet time. (quiet, uninterrupted time where you read the Bible and pray)

In the interest of keeping it real and relevant, I want to address the reasons people struggle with having a quiet time.

Do you have a daily quiet time?

If you don’t, what are the reasons?

If you do, what distracts you from, or competes with, that time?

Where have all the bloggers gone?

I remember the days when my reader would be full of new posts, just begging to be read. Now out of 39 blogs, I get about 15 new posts a day. And 2 of them are daily bible verses.

It reminds me of when I was away at college (read: prison) and I would apply for credit cards just to get rejection letters in my mailbox so as not to look like a loser checking an empty mailbox 3 times a day. (That was a long sentence.)

But really, where has everyone gone? Are they on Twitter? Did they go grassroots? Are they reviving the Postal Service and sending postcards? Are smoke signals making a comeback? (I don’t even know what “going grassroots” means, but I’m grasping at straws here.) (I really don’t even know what “grasping at straws” means, so there.)

Can someone please tell me where the bloggers have gone?
