Craziness and the itch to write

It has been so busy around here lately that I can hardly think!  Don’t get me wrong, there are some exciting things happening in my life, but it has all just been a bit overwhelming this week.

 We kicked off our Saturday night service last week and it was awesome!  Great music, Dave Dravecky as a guest speaker (not too shabby) and the start of our church-wide growth group series, The Miracles of Jesus.  To top it off we have a ton of new volunteers coming in and tracking with all of them has proven difficult.  We’ve been auditioning like crazy, working on a ton of special music for this series and now I’m even starting on Christmas.

 I’m not complaining!  This is all amazing and great to be a part of, but with all that’s going on at work, preparing for a two week trip to Africa in January, a wife who has been sick this week and Saturday night now looming every week, it’s a lot.

 I’m really wishing I had some time to sit down and work out some of these song ideas that are swirling in my head.

 Sometimes things are just going a hundred miles an hour.  Despite all of the craziness, it is pretty fantastic getting to be this busy doing what I love.  Sure beats workin’ at Chili’s!

  1. For me, it’s only WHEN things are busy, when I don’t have the time to write, that the ideas and inspiration come to do so. I wonder if it’s something about creative brains. I wonder if the stress of life squeezes all the good ideas out sometimes. I guess what I’m saying is, you’re a normal creative person - which means you’re not normal at all. ; )

    Good luck finding the time to work on those songs.
