Last night was a little sweaty, at some point the AC went out. Living in old houses up until now has been nice because if this happens we can open up the windows and they’re designed for air flow. Our current house is air tight which helps the HVAC system, but now feels like I can’t breath. We’re taking the girls to the doctor today, they both have appointments, hopefully no one is getting any shots as that would likely make them fussy for the next couple days. Our trash can is full and tomorrow is trash day, so it’s building up inside the house. All of these things are little annoyances, nothing about my life is broken still my natural inclination is that I’m not doing enough and I’m left wondering how am I supposed to do more when I’ve got these distractions. Here’s where I’m thankful for the distractions because it’s not right that I always feel a need to improve, I have a very good life and should enjoy it. What becomes of me then? Dust, it’s what becomes regardless of any great achievement. When I listen to the Bible is seems in the old testament there are a lot of rules people must follow to stay holy, in the new testament my understanding is God made a new covenant(agreement) with mankind that faith in Jesus is all we can do. Rather than feeling like I don’t measure up, I work on gratitude for being relieved of the burden of measurement. Walk with a clear mind and I will be guided along the path.

and perhaps follow those ten simple rules that came out a long time ago. You may find God doesn’t ask for much. It’s the people that work for him that start to screw things up.
