A million miles an hour...

My brain and body are going a million miles an hour today. I've managed to secure the full day off on Friday, instead of the half day I'd planned, and that means that there is much to accomplish in the next two work days. Tomorrow could be worse. A major mailout needs to be on it's way to the post office before I leave tomorrow, and two of the documents that need to be included won't have final approval for me to print them until first thing tomorrow morning. It doesn't help that both of them are multi-page documents, and will require at least a couple hours to complete all the printing and photocopying. I may be working a bit late tomorrow...

I'm sort of amped up today - adrenaline maybe? It's really the only thing that makes sense given that I slept very poorly again last night...

And with that, I'm off... things to finish before my lunch break, and dozens of things to do before the end of the afternoon... church leadership meeting at mom and dad's tonight, over dinner, and then I'm going home to do laundry, and crash on my couch for an hour to watch the new Grey's Anatomy spin-off "Private Practice"

See you around!

Another great bit from Henri Nouwen

Meditation

When Jesus says: "Sky and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away" (Luke 21:33), he shows us a direct way to eternal life. The words of Jesus have the power to transform our hearts and minds and lead us into the Kingdom of God. "The words I have spoken to you," Jesus says, "are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63).

Through meditation we can let the words of Jesus descend from our minds into our hearts and create there a dwelling place for the Spirit. Whatever we do and wherever we go, let us stay close to the words of Jesus. They are words of eternal life.
