having one of those days...

when i just suddenly realize where i am and what i'm responsible for (i mean the whole ball of wax- the magazines, the Sunday school curriculum, the writing assignments, the electronic media, the FAMILY! the mortgage, the garbage disposal, the teaching/speaking/performance assignments, and the fuse box) It was a full blown "Oh Crap" moment.

With the exception of the garbage disposal and the fuse box- these are all fairly God-sized tasks and if I ever succeed with excellence in 51% of these zones it will take an act of GOD.

I am comforted by the fact that Moses had youknowwhat moments himself... the bitter water, red sea, passover, locust swarming, murmering miriam, moments. So did Peter, Gideon, Jeremiah, and a great cloud of other witnesses... There must have been a hebrew word for it...

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
St. Paul
