GET SOME REST!

Sleep in!  (No Bible verse today - the book is downstairs)

     4 o'clock a.m.  That was the first time I woke up and decided to lay back down.  It is now 7:07 and I am still in my house.  I didn't go to the gym.  I didn't get off to work.  I just slept......AND IT FELT GOOD.
     No long speech today.  No interesting tidbits - just this.  Don't be afraid to rest every now and then.  John Ortberg put it like this: "For six days you work hard, you give it your all.  But, on the seventh day, you rest!!"
     Stuff will get done!  You body won't go to pot if you skip a day.  You won't be a worse person if you take one day off!

THAT SUPER BOWL REALLY GETS IN THE WAY!

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.  - 1 Corinthians 13:7


     You know when love is tough?  When the SuperBowl is on.  You've got a wife that's sick, a dog that needs walking and some kids who want dinner.  And the Patriots are playing the Giants in a game the "everybody" is "supposed" to watch.
      I'll just break it to you - I didn't love well.  I was distracted by the Giants comeback.  I put Tom Brady's last drive in front of my daughter's desire to have Freddie come up stairs.  I let my daughters do to bed without Tebowing with them.  
     Would love do that?  Would love let any distraction get in the way?  Would love put anything in front of listening to the people you love the most?  Would love let anything get in the way of meeting their needs?
      I think God should have added another line to that verse - ", and love doesn't run down to the basement to watch the SuperBowl."
