I like this picture I recently took in Times Square in New York City. It was probably 9-10 pm, and look at how busy it is.
Ahh, yes, the hustle and bustle of Times Square. Cars and people everywhere. People shopping. walking. vacationing. working…..on and on.
I feel like that’s my life right now BIZZY. Bee Eye Zee Zee Why.
It’s fun at times, nuts at times, exhilarating at times, exhausting at times.
And time flies when you’re so busy.
Can you believe it’s the middle of July already? I was just telling someone how it’s been such a busy summer, when back in May I figured it would be a pretty relaxing summer. I knew only of a golf trip, a long weekend trip with Eliza and a late summer, (technically fall) cruise.
I also knew about softball. I would play in 1 league and sub in another.
Since then, 2 more mini-trips, Liza playing softball, me playing more softball, church, responsibilities at church, house sitting, this and that have managed to creep their way into the Nate Hood family life.
I’m not sure what to cut out though. Liza and talk a lot about doing things, and try and coordinate a fulfilling and diverse calendar. It seems like something is always getting the short end of the stick. We’d like to do more a bunch of different friends, but that takes away from time with best friends and family. And if you try and make equal time for everyone, close friends and family can become distant.
What to do? What to do?

Well, maybe to help ease the friend get togethers, do multiple groups at a time. Make it 4 or 5 couples instaed of 1 or 2, this way you're hitting many birds with 1 stone. Also, sometimes we call things important when they are probably selfish wants. I'm not saying sports and hobbies aren't important; but are they always needed in a time when time is so precious? Let's face it, Satan will do anything to keep Christians SOOOO busy so they are distracted from doing the work of the Lord. Look, we should and are supposed to have fun; I mean what would life be boring and mundane w/out some entertainment. But do we really need to do all the things we schedule on our calenders? Let's not forget that God, family, and friends are the most important things in our lives. All the other things should fall into place after that, otherwise we are being too selfish. Hey, if you choose a path, than follow it! But, if it starts to show signs of eroding the above mentioned important things, than swallow human pride and re-evaluate your priorities and re-align your steps with the path that Christ would want you to walk. I'll be prayin for us all!!
Hman....do I know you?
You might.....:-)
