I am so tired of being a person who works all the time. Have you ever wondered why we do this to ourselves? I think we try to do everything for everyone to make sure that people know that we care about them or are good people.
Does that make sense? Why else would we work so hard just to make someone else happy. We tend to be too concerned about others and not concerned enough about others' souls... Our focus needs to be on Christ and how He lived and died for us and for others. It does not matter how much money we earn or how much time we spend with our friends. What matters is how much we care about others and their eternal situations.
Our children should be first on our list. Do we know that they have a relationship with the Lord? If not, we need to make it real for them. No matter what we tell them, they will see what we do. We have to LIVE Jesus for them.

Studying from an ADD Point of View
I think that people with Attention Deficit Disorder are special. I have determined that I have ADD. Well, actually a friend of mine keeps pointing out all my ADD tendencies.
A person with ADD needs multiple tasks in order to concentrate. Therefore, I've determined that in order to be a great multi-tasker, one must be ADD.
I have been trying to study for a marketing exam and find that I must have the television going, and have other sites open on my computer in order to be able to study the material in question. I get distracted if there is not something else going on.
What do you think? Has anyone else noticed a tendency toward multiple tasks in order to be successful?

Learning to Live
I've decided that someone needs to teach us how to learn to live. We learn everything in school, but we never really catch on to what living is about.
Do we live to make a living? Or do we make a living so that we may truly live?
I find myself so caught up in the everyday hassles of life, that when I take time out to truly enjoy something, I feel guilty about wasting my time.
A couple of nights ago I spent a few hours with my friends enjoying fellowship, conversation, pizza, and knitting. It was great! But I think about those hours as time I could have been studying and I feel guilty. My husband does not understand my need to be with other friends and have some "me" time. He will get there though. I am refusing to feel guilty any longer! I am refusing to live my life to work. I want to work so I can LIVE my life!
