The last season of our church has kept me abnormally busy. There are times in ministry where this happens, and while it can be tiring and push your limits, you have to keep a healthy balance in your life to survive it. I feel like I've done that for the most part, but I've put a couple things on hold that are really starting to catch up to me. You'll notice that none of these things are as important as say family or my walk with God, because I would rather deal with this stuff than hurt relationships. If it means cleaning my car out or taking my daughter to the park, my daughter will win every single time. However, here is the list of things I need to do!!!

1. Cleaning out my cars - Isn't it amazing how a clean car can make you feel better about how things are going in your life? It's funny, but so true for me! This is one of the top things on my list of things I need to find time for!

2. Cleaning out my garage - It is not as important as the cars, but it would be nice to take my trash out without tripping over things in the dark.

3. Bills, bills, bills - I pay them, but I need to organize everything and do a better job tracking where our money goes. I also have yet to transfer over our old Connecticut checking account. It's been a year and a half and I haven't done it, because it means changing a whole lot of billing information. The sad things is bills, numbers, and budgets come remarkably easy to me... I just haven't made time to tackle it all.

4. Car registration, blinker, etc. - My cars are just a disaster! I have had a blinker out on one for like 2 months. That can't be safe (or legal). Somehow we didn't pay out $60 car tax. I don't even remember receiving it, but how would I know when all my bills are in a giant pile!

5. Doctor visits - While a smaller priority, I need to go to the dentist and doctor!

6. Painting out house - We've been here for the better part of a year and I haven't even begun to paint most of the house. It's sad, because I have everything I need... it's just one of those things that gets pushed aside.

7. Finishing my wife's blog and website

So those are my needs... my wants? Totally different, and none of them a priority.

1. Finish the fire pit area
2. Keep writing my book - I really could finish if I had enough time
3. Finish the accounting book I'm reading and studying, so I can start to learn more about small business accounting.
4. Play some golf!

Life is funny, because you can never do everything, and things are rarely finished! That's the way it goes I guess!
