I've caught myself losing patience with this "Brain" character. Its hard NOT to blast the guy when his posts dont make a damn bit of sense. But I think I'm gonna delete some of my less-than-charitable comments about him. Whatever else is wrong in this guy's life, his obvious problems are considerable, if not insurmountable. Good luck to ya, "Brain"...youre gonna need it!

I also don't know where to start. it seems like as years roll by, life just keeps getting faster and faster. My excuses are very legit. My family needs food on the table. But is that really an excuse for being a "workaholic" and neglecting family much less God my creator? How much time do I spend with my kids? How much time to I spend praying? How much time do I spend at church? Or earning a living? My priorities often times seem out of wack. but are they?
It is not easy doing what we do. Which isn't doing what we do, but rather deciding what not to do. That may sound wack, but hey there are only so many hours in a day if you catch my drift. I earn my keep, and I bet you do to. But something other people depend on us and we must carry the weight of others (as they have carried me in the past)
So here is my delemma. After a long week, either I can take my 14 year old son to the hockey game tomorrow night and drink beer and eat pizza and hotdogs and sleep it off the next day, or else I can go to bed early on Saturday night and wake up Sunday all bright and chirpy and go to church. After all, I'm no spring rooster! Which is more important in the big scheme of things?
