Keeping Busy By Half

This promises to be a wild week including as it does this morning's sidewalk counseling, a session with Steve Young who is consolidating and reorganizing our various cyber-outreaches, a Book It! discussion over The Forgotten Man (which I have yet to start!), a couple of Grace University classes I'm teaching in a friend's absence, putting the pre-emergent on the lawn, the regular blogging, tearing out bushes, planting spring flowers and new shrubs, the normal correspondence, sermon preparation, a visit to the Troutman's twins, an evening at the Omaha Symphony, two articles to finish, the LifeSharer letter to complete and send out, visits to Mom and a going-away party for a church friend to attend.

Whew.

And did I mention that my sister Linda and her husband are coming in Wednesday to stay with us for 5 days?

They arrive the day after we have a new furnace put in!

The actor Burt Lancaster once said, "I am reasonably happy, providing I keep busy." That's good. But does that suggest that one who is too busy is in danger of being "unreasonably" happy? If so, we're in for an absolutely delirious week!
