Challenged.  That is how I feel right now.  After finishing The Divine Mentor by Wayne Cordeiro I feel challenged.  Challenged to be more disciplined in spending time with God and His Word.

One thing I have never been very good at is journaling….putting my thoughts to paper.  After finishing this book I am willing to give it another try.  I am willing to take more time to reflect on all that God is saying to me.  I am willing to take more time with God and ignore the “noise, chatter, crowds, politics, talk radio, television, bills, worries, responsibilities, deadlines, endless chores” and everything that wears on me, and steals my time, from life.

The Divine Mentor is a great read, one that I would recommend to anyone wanting to take their devotional life to a new level.

Monday is always a great day for me.  Typically I have the chance to spend the entire day with Jack, and that makes it a fun day no matter what we are doing.  Today we had the chance to go to a new park, where Jack got the chance to climb through the mouth of giant plastic hippo, take a ride on the swings and slides, and more.  Then we hit up Starbucks…coffee for dad, cookie and juice for Jack.  Then we swung by Barnes and Noble to look for a book to help Jack with his letters and also to play with the toy train set they have.  Right before I put Jack down for his nap a bit ago, he decided he wanted some Cheerios!  Although I wasn’t too excited he decided to drop them all on the kitchen floor, I was glad to have his “help” cleaning them up.
