Days 257 - 258 - Rushing

Rushing seems to be the theme these days.  Everyone I know has a schedule that is jam packed.  I'm rushing right now because I'm going to soon have the window by my desk replaced, and don't know how long this corner of my world will be out of commission.  Packing too much into a day may be productive but it can also produce heartburn - or it could be because I seem to have ruined an SD card for the camera.

Rushing through devotional time can intensify that heart-burn, as each hour's pressures are packed down into that deal-with-it-later space that has potential to 'blow' by the day's end.

Rushing through exercise or physical therapy can result in injury, or at the least, less benefit to the bod.

Looking for rush in the scriptures, I found only warnings of how man rushes into sin. Now that I ponder on it, it's true isn't it - from big and hasty decisions we regret, to those little things - grabbing an unhealthy snack, to not preparing for a good day is usually because we are rushed.

It challenges me to read the opposite of rushing - waiting - patiently.

Romans. 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Food:  Only two pictures:

Chicken Salad Sandwich:  Chicken cooked in rice wine, added grapes, apples and few pecans. On Pumpernickel bread.

Peach Yogurt Custard:  Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, a little rice milk, sprinkles of pumpkin-pie spice and added cut fresh peaches. Baked in water bath.

Also had cereal bowl of spaghetti and one meatball last night.
