I am in my office. It seems that I have gotten myself in over my head? I can not figure out why I have so much to do these days. It started with an attic project at the beginning of the summer… and has only piled up since then.

So, here I am sitting in my office, doing the things I don’t rely on other people for, so that tomorrow, I can try and do that, so that I can eventually get to finishing my attic.

Are you that busy? Do you want to be?

I was talking with a friend earlier this week about how we (especially Christians) are so busy doing and doing… and we just keep pushing harder. It’s for the Lord. It’s for God. He’ll give us the strength.

Now, it says, when we wait on God, we will walk and not grow weary, run and not go faint. And I believe that. But I don’t think he had staffing the worship team for the week when he was saying that. 🙂 We definitely put undue pressure on ourselves.

I have heard from several friends of late the need to cut back and spend more time as a family. That is so cool that they are doing that, and so sad that they have been pushing so hard for so long just to help out their church put on a show, or staff some other part of the machinery.

It’s just weird that we are expected to give till our last ounce of energy is spent, and the focus of that energy is just a church program. Superfluous. Even unnecessary? Yet paramount. And we’re almost made to feel guilty if our “service to our Lord” doesn’t somehow hurt us.

Gotta carry your cross, ya know…

Sorry if I sound cynical… this has little to nothing to do with the financial crushing experienced a day or two ago. (Though it does have some financial ramifications on us…) I am just frustrated at the moment with the Christian machinery at the moment.

On a more fun note… I have a page up for Pre-Ordering the Christmas CD!!! Song clips (NOT mastered… just our studio mix) are up for each song… and you can buy as MANY CDs (or tapes) as you want!!!

I did that as a way to hopefully pay for the CDs so that people can actually get them 🙂 With the credit folks taking away the credit with which I was going to purchase the CDs… we are still looking for $3000 in the next 2 or 3 weeks. We need around $6,000 total, so that amazing gift on Monday night covered the down payment, and we need the remainder for them to ship the product to us.

So, if you were planning on getting one, we’re offering free shipping for pre-orders! 🙂 Get one for everyone you know!!! 🙂 Buy online right now!

But hurry, while supplies last…
