• Read Luke 1038-42 (pg. 1105)
• People expect us to be busy, overworked. Its
  become a status symbol in our society if we are
  busy we are important if we are not busy, were
  embarrassed to admit it. Busyness is where we
  get our security. It is validating, popular and
  pleasing. It is also a good excuse for not
  dealing with the first things in our lives.
  Stephen Covey
• Tension and frustration mount when we are
  performing the wrong tasks or trying to cram too
  many of the right activities into a given period
  A critical spirit develops and we begin to judge
  and condemn others for what they do or dont do.
  Anytime you feel a wave of criticism gaining
  momentum in your spirit remember that its
  completely out line as far as God is concerned.
