Monentarily. Then out came the things that get used to “do” things. Pens, paper, file folders – on and on it goes, and then the once clear plain that was my desk is filled again. It’s like a growing virus. We start one thing, but that leads to another and another. You know the routine. A simple project does not always end up “simple”.<\/p>\n
Looking over my desk, there are cables, CDs and DVDs, and of course books.<\/p>\n
Ah, there lies the problem – get rid of the books. That would not solve the problem, because among the books are two bibles, a Max Lucado devotional and my Study Guide from church.<\/p>\n
Perhaps “neatly arranged” is what my desk needs to be, with only what I am working on at the moment in the forefront. Might be the best choice. Working at it a little at a time might accomplish more than trying to get it done in one fell swoop.<\/p>\n
Kind of reminds me of James 5 verse 7 where he mentions the patience of the farmer. Nowadays (is that really one word?) most farmers use some kind of irrigation. They learned that what they have to do is be ready for the early rain, and wait for the late rain in the growing season.<\/p>\n
Farmers wait for the crop – they know it does not happen overnight. But they also know that they have to plant the seed, keep the weeds down and tend their field. Ok, I’ll be patient as I tend my desk, but the Bibles stay near by. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
