Like most of you, I have found myself to be waaaaaaaaaay to be busy this past month. I had went to the Flathead church with Karmen and June Blake again the week after the Portland Marathon. We Had a great time of fellowship with the people there.
On the way up, we stop at the National Bison Reserve and had the opportunity to see a bunch of animals as well as enjoy the countryside. We also had the chance to spend a significant amount of time traveling th area to see what the needs are in the community.
Later at the church we had a wonderful time of worship led by June while I gave a sermon entitled It's Only a Matter of Time, which centers of the idea of biblical hope in our lives.
Upon returning to the city of Portland, it has been a whirlwind of activity trying to heal from the marathon as well as getting back to general training. I felt what I have heard some of my clients tell me about how life has a way of stealing time away from us. Of course, the easy way out of that one (as a life coach) is to just tell them to "improve their boundaries"--but I think that it goes much further than that.
I know that when I am feeling this way, I don't need folks sounding off one liners--no matter how good they sound. Rather I have seen that I need to be reminded that I am not alone--I don't experience life within a vacuum. I find that I begin to forget those things in my life that I have made a priority. For me, it is that reestablishing of priorities (through the content of real relationships) that gets me back on track.
If you feel trapped on this neverending treadmill of life, please feel free to send me an e mail and let's talk about it. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the photos.
In His Grace,
Mark Pearson
