Today is one of those days when I woke up and as I got to work, got out of the truck, got my badge (electronic key to get into the building where I work) out of my bag, clipped it on my belt, looked up and breathed in the cold air - I thought, wheeew, one more day of this, too much. It's one of those days, and this doesn't happen a lot, just every now and then, when I feel like I'm waisting away, like I have big things to do and can't, like I'm stuck. As I walked into the building I thought also, "it's supposed to be one day at a time, constant, regular life" - but I certainly don't feel fine with that today.
I don't think, as a rule, it's healthy to go around feeling in a hurry or feeling like you've always got to be doing something bigger or better. I think that's mostly bullshit rolling around in you, planted there by the world, the culture and the enemy. I think that may be the case here as well. If any feeling like I'm having today causes me to veer away from the steady path of everday walking, then it's not good.

"Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross
is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus
is a burden without a reliever." Fulton J. Sheen
"...I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be
completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self." Henri Nouwen
