I like having a clean desk. When I walk into my office I like open, organized space with minimal clutter. So, my office often becomes a metaphor for what my life looks like at the moment. And, at the moment, it is a pile of clutter. I’m feeling a little buried at the moment.

I’ve been pressed by multiple project deadlines at work even as I travelled last week to deliver a previously unscheduled training session that recently got added to the insanity. I came back from my trip only to prep for and deliver the message at Westview Church. We’re prepping for a big family weekend at the lake and ten days away. The community theatre’s summer musical is in a few weeks so there are daily administrative tasks that become momentary priorities. The lawn keeps growing. You get the picture.
