In Arizona
I made it safely to Arizona today, and got to have lunch with all three of my grandparents before meeting up with the rest of our group at the hotel. We got to meet with our Bishop for about an hour, and then we met briefly with the Desert Southwest conference staff and had a GREAT dinner. I will post a picture of the sunshine for all of you in Spokane so you can remember what it looks like!

Movie Screening Coming to Covenant soon!
After you watch the above trailer, I would love to hear your thoughts about it!
And while you are thinking of it, put January 9th @ 6;30 p.m. on your calendar if you are able to attend the screening and Q&A session following! We will watch it in our sanctuary projected onto the screen...
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Peace,
Gregg

The Price of Being "Too Busy"
I found this article at the link above, and found it quite interesting... It is written by Christian-Charles de Plicque. Here are a couple of excerpts (in case you don't have, or make, time to read it)!:
"As the saying goes: "welcome to the human race". And what a race it has become. Survey after survey today reports that most people feel that they just don't have enough time to do all that needs to get done. Whether fully employed or retired, living in some cosmopolitan international city or a small town, working in the home or at the office, the common refrain is the same - most people feel they are running out of time. People see themselves as over-committed, over-scheduled, and over-whelmed. Worse, the faster they run, the further behind they often feel. Among career, being single, or being parent families, lack of time is a way of life...
To experience God, all the world religions speak of the need to slow down, to calm down, to rest, to pause, to be humble and listen. Over the centuries, every major faith has developed spiritual disciplines designed to make God more real and relevant to the seeker...
... there has probably never been a time when we need to practice the spiritual disciplines of slowing down more than today.
If nothing else in this busy world, we might remember the safety rules we learned as little children. Before crossing the street, we were taught to always stop, look and listen. Before things get too busy each day, we should at least do the same."

- What do you think? Is this true for you?
- How do you cope/deal with this?
