I took a couple of days off during Spring Break. I didn’t write on the blog which is obvious. But I also did not check my email often, like every coupe of hours. I checked it in the morning, responded to what needed to be and either deleted the email or filed in for later reference. It was liberating. The church is still up and running; I didn’t miss anything I couldn’t live without. By the way it was the same with facebook. Checked it once and went on my way.
Thursday afternoon, Cindy, Emily, and I went to a museum downtown and walked around Santa Fe. then, we went to eat. Yesterday, we were suppose to go to Abiqui and play around but Emily woke up not feeling well. So we stayed around the house and piddled. Did do laundry and go to the grocery store, but I read this week’s Economist magazine from cover to cover, took a nap, and was a slug for part of the day. It was great.
On day 20 of 40 Days Living the Jesus Creed is this quote “But Americans, somehow, manage to convert time into busy time, because being busy is one way we measure who is important. Yet busyness scatters our inner life.” One of the things God has been trying to teach me this Lent is to slow down, enjoy the ride. ”When you slow down, Greg, you can hear my voice better.”
