September 20, 2007

Good morning! It is a great in in Jesus! Some Newsboys on the stereo this morning, a good way to help start the day. You can enjoy your favorite music group, but I have come to think that it is more important than I once realized. I don't know if you can blame a suicide or other violent act on some form of music, but it sure seems to help in the other direction. Listening to some joyful music, and glorifying our Lord in song does help to lift the spirit and start the day out right.

And we do need to raise our joy at the start of a day. As the pressure at work grows, the salvos between groups and individuals start flying back and forth. We are in that run up to busy season lock down and many things must be done in a hurry. We all have our busy times at work, at least those of us who still work, but even those who do not will remember what it was like in the race to a make a living.

Where do we find a fount of joy and peace to get us through each day? In Jesus Christ of course! Are we so busy that we cannot take a few moments to pray at work? Take a break, walk away from the desk. I have been shown that I cannot be of good service to my employer when I am stressed out and anxious, and I'm sure that holds true for everyone else. We need to be firm about taking a break regularly. Use that brief time to pray, breathe deep, and find that light of joy and peace given to us by Jesus.

God's grace be with you this day,

Bucky
