Very Sweet Moment

So, I just walked through my bedroom. My son was laying on my bed. He said, "mom, I was just reading my bible." With joy in my heart, I examined the situation further. He was half sitting and half laying on my bed with a small red Gideon's new testament in his hands (mind you he doesn't read yet). "Oh, that is a good idea." I replied. He went on to explain. "Last time, God told me while I was sleeping that I need to read my Bible. (pause) Yeah, he said that he didn't have many bibles in his heart and that is why he wanting me to read it for him." Okay, so not perfect theology, but it is a start.

Stuck in the Twilight Zone

Okay, I will first admit that I have actually never watched a single episode of the Twilight Zone. But, in my mind, I am stuck in some kind of weird world where everything stops and everything flies by. I like to call it "chasing my tail". I run, go, and do without really getting anywhere. Maybe it was just all the holiday commitments between buying gifts (which in my opinion was 2.5 months well spent and my favorite part of Christmas) and family commitments both for the holidays and otherwise.

Personally, I think it goes back to my realization that I over-think EVERYTHING! Literally, I have conversations with myself as to whether or not I should go ahead and get up and go to the bathroom or would it be better to get what I am doing done quick and then go. My mind must make "an act of congress" before I even do basic bodily functions. I way the options, explore alternative measures, measure the costs of all bids, debate the issue way longer than it deserves and then usually end up coming to some resolution that really skirts the original issue.
