I Believe (Part 1.. The Apology)

I woke up this morning and wished I didn't.. it was just one of those mornings. But I got up, I went to work.. nothing spectacular. Same old, same old. One of the first customers I had all day managed to put me in a bad mood... that didn't really change for most of the day. Tired, Grumpy.. we've all been there. Then I got a txt msg from Pastor Jordan which reminded me that I had to lead games for the Jr. High's and, being grumpy and tired, this was not good news.. So at this point you're probably wondering why I'm writing this because, if you've ever read any notes by me before, you are aware that I don't usually tell you anything about my day.. or about myself in general. I usually write about issues or topics of interest.. but today I'm writing about something that I believe is more important than that. (Keep reading)
So I came home from work, tired and hungry. I ate supper. I went to Jr. High. And then I realized something.. I realized that the last couple weeks of my life have been incredibly busy and yet incredibly dull. I realized that I've been keeping myself so busy that I haven't had time to stop and think or do the things that I need to do in order to stay alive (I'm talking spiritual, not physical.. physically, I'm doing well. Thanks for asking.) I also realized that I haven't been treating my friends the way they deserve to be treated as lately they have been subject to my "de-stressing" (kind of like venting, only totally different.) So for the first time in a long time.. I stopped to think. Just for a minute, I paused with no real goal in mind. I stopped thinking about all the things I needed to do and all the stuff i wanted to do... and I will tell you what I thought about in Part 2 of this note which I'm writing in the form of a list..
