You kind of unpack all the people of your day and, as they say, focus on the family. Leave your work at work and get ready to be with your family - not just around your family, but with your family. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Great-Gerbil-Race-3842 2008-07-30T16:22:26-05:00 Problem here. There are way too many of us who are two-legged gerbils. Watching that gerbil wearing himself out on a wheel is just too much of a mirror of how a lot of us live. We're running really hard in pursuit of the great obsession - more! More possessions, more toys, more money, more position, more recognition, more power. But our lives are increasingly spinning out of control, just like that gerbil wheel. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/Making-Space-in-a-Crowded-Life-3903 2008-07-28T17:22:56-05:00 Some of us have lives like our kids' motel room - so crowded that we are running out of space! Actually, we all have the same amount of "space" in our life - the same seven days, 168 hours in a week. But some of us have packed so much into our lives - maybe too much - there's no room left for an emergency, a crisis, a breakdown, an illness - or even to give God and the people we love the time they should have. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Too-Busy-for-the-Beauty-3995 2008-07-28T14:31:28-05:00 In our overheated, over scheduled lives, it is so easy to speed right by some things that are too beautiful to miss -- in our surroundings, in our son, our daughter, our grandchild, our mate, in the blessings that God is unfolding right in front of us. And even in hearing the voice of God. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/series.php?series=196&topic_name=Women in Ministry 2008-04-04T16:44:28-05:00 Busy people face certain types of temptation. Nancy shares openly about the temptations she faces, even while doing worthwhile things for God. If you have let busyness threaten your intimacy with God, Nancy will show you how to return. http://sermonindex.net/modules/articles/index.php?view=article&aid=825 2008-01-08T09:23:59-05:00 Busyness! Do we sometimes imagine that this is something good? That energy and industriousness stand behind it? Or at least that it is necessary so that we can achieve something? No. Busyness separates us from Jesus. It is a sin and has a negative effect upon my life of faith...
