Distraction

Today was a mental overload day as I brainstormed, prayed, and researched my message for this coming Sunday on Hope. I then spent a chunk of time preparing for a premarrital counseling session. Tomorrow will be a long day of sermon and small group study guide prep with possibly a little bit of website maintanance.
So with so much on my plate comes a feeling of mental overload which leads me to want to escape. So here are the places my mind is roaming as I fantasize this escape: Disneyworld; sunshine; palm trees; the beach; warm breezes; video games; painting; long bike rides; marathon training; movie theater visits; playing Legos with my son; cuddling my daughter; holding my wife; drinking large amounts of caffeine; chocolate cake; etc…
These are the places I woul like to allow myself to wonder off to now, but I will keep my focus on the work God has rolled out for me. That is where I will find real satisfaction and joy.
Did I mention sitting on my leather couch with only underwear on watching Monsterquest?
