About Me

My photo
I am one of the most random people you may ever meet. I do my best to enjoy life in general, and I try to be content with what God has blessed me to have in my life. I am a blunt, honest individual that will give you an honest opinion if asked. Relationships are the most important things in my life. I am concerned with only the opinions of close friends, family, and other close relations of people who care about me. Otherwise, I tend to not care what other people think of me. I am not here to please the world. I am on this planet to serve others in hopes that God finds favor with my efforts to do so at the end of my Earthly existence. I am a good-natured person that lives for the moment. Even though not always successful, I try to look at things in a positive light with a productive attitude and world view. I am thankful for each breath that I take because each breath that is taken is a blessing in of itself. Make the most of what you can while you can. You get one chance at this thing called life. So try your best to Glorify God and Enjoy Him Forever. If you have any questions about me or my BLOG, don't hesitate to ask, and I will give you a straightforward answer.

Day Three – Poop-A-Scoop….Don’t be so serious!

I had a meeting with the senior pastor of music at my church this past week. Having a 14,000 person congregation obviously keeps him fairly busy. We were talking about the peace of God, and he mentioned that he always likes to leave “margin” areas in his life. I asked him what he meant. He said that he needed brief breaks between all the busyness of a very busy schedule. My church has been doing a twenty-one-days- of-prayer movement where they literally get up at 6:00 am for all of those days to pray as a congregation together. Now I have had a bit of trouble getting up so early especially when I write until 1:00 am or 1:30 am in the morning. I plan on being there tomorrow, but this minister has certainly been having some long days this week waking up to be at the church at 6:00 am and then leaving a little past 5:00 pm. But he has planned some moments of “margin” where he “might take a nap” or “play with his kids,” etc.

Today was kind of a break day for me. I edited one chapter of the book and then kind of took it easy. I spent some time with the Lord, took a nap, and tried not to push a ten hour day. The margin here provided some rest to get up and go again tomorrow. Getting a good night’s rest has also been important.

In life I think you also have to remember not to take things so seriously. My mom was getting onto me the other day about an expired license because it was a couple days overdue. She was stressing out about it, and it was not even her license. I casually told her I would get it done. She has an interesting personality where everything must be done right this second. That would drive anyone crazy causing stress. As you watch these YouTube videos with babies pooping in the tub, laugh a little bit. Even if you are offended by the bodily noises, you have to admit that it’s hilarious! Relax. Chill. Rest. And realize not everything has to be done this very second. Enjoy not taking everything so seriously including yourself.
