Well, it's been nearly two months since I've blogged. There's no excuse really. I could give some like "I've just not had enough time," but in the end, excuses are just a waste of time. So it's redundant, and I'm moving on.
June and July have been a whirlwind. Youth trips, mission trips, conventions, weddings in other states and trips to foreign countries have all been stuffed into a few weeks' time. Like kernels of popcorn that explode when enough heat is applied, there were times when I felt like the pressure of it all would make me pop. But in the end, it's what I signed up for and agreed to. I made the choices to be this busy and I must say that even though it was all a bit stressful, it was an adventure and a lot of fun.
One of the highlights has been taking my mom and children to New York. I had a short visit there once before, and I tested my own resourcefulness by going back as the leader and provider for my family this time. It gave me a great sense of accomplishment to know that I could go to another city and manage to get around, take care of the details and planning and really have an enjoyable experience all at the same time.
The good news is that things are starting to get back to order. My office staff is now back at 100% - at least for the day - you never know how long that will last. And my spouse and kids will be returning from the last of the summer trips at the end of this week. (I have enjoyed a few days of sobering sanity being home alone for a short time.)
Now that order and structure is returning, I will attempt to be more fervent in my blogging. Back to the grind...
