Bloggers Block

Writers block...isn't that what you call it when you just can't think of anything to write? Well I have had bloggers block. I sit down to do a post and become blank. I do have alot to say though. I am a bit overwhelmed right now with all that I'm involved in. I am doing several bible studies during the week. On Tuesdays we are doing a Precept (Kay Arthur) study of Philippians. It is alot of work, its good stuff, but alot of work. Its amazing how studying about joy can bring to life your absence of joy. Quick story. Our study is on Tuesday night so I prepare dinner for my family early so they will be all taken care of for the night. So on the 2nd night of our study I made a big chicken pot pie. I put it in to cook and then I left for the bible study. Dave was supposed to take it out feed the kids and all would be well when I returned home. I got home from a great study on joy, (you know the study of how no one else can make you lose your joy, yea that study). When I got to the kitchen it was spotless. I could not even find the dinner leftovers. I immediately assume that Dave let the dinner burn and had to throw it away....joy starting to disappear. Then I go to the living room where Dave and Jesse are involved in this great theological discussion and demand to know where the dinner went. Abby had heated the water for hot chocolate and accidentally left the eye on so when Dave took the casserole dish out of the oven and sat it on the stove to cool, it got so hot sitting on the stove that the glass dish exploded sending glass, chicken, crust, and vegetables all over the kitchen. It was an accident.....but I totally lost my joy on everybody in the house. The next day I had to apologize to my little family and call Jesse to ask for forgiveness. So you see I really need the Philippians study:)

Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. Philippians 1:27
