Juggling

Okay, so I'm in Abilene, Texas this week for a class on spiritual formation. We're spending lots of time analyzing the various strands of spirituality within the Christian faith. There are deep traditions to draw from. My own tradition within Churches of Christ has its own fountains of spirituality, even though the rationalism of our 20th-century movement pretty much squelched all forms of spiritual life other than biblical knowledge and "right worship." Nothing to be embarrassed about, but it is enriching to realize how narrow a spot we occupy in the overall landscape.

At any rate, while we're doing things to emphasize the need for times of quiet, silence, meditation, etc., I am juggling written assignments, an oral presentation, more readings, and the closing of a house along with notarizations, bank authorizations, etc. It's been crazy. I want to be watching the Penguins or Lakers tonight, but I am finding that hard to do with all the busy-ness of my spiritual life! ;)

Thankfully, our house in West Virginia about to close. The proceeds from the sale are to be transferred to us by the end of this week, Lord willing. It's great to be NEARLY done. But now for those papers...
