Be still...

I was reading in Psalm 46 yesterday and thinking about it this morning...do you know how hard it can be to "be still..." before God when life is just racing around you. You've probably been there...TV, books, internet, movies, family, kids...MAN...it can be hard. I was encouraged this morning just to stop my mind from racing and focus on the GREAT things that God has done for me. TRY IT! Stop yourself and think about cool things in your life...think about people that mean a lot to you and how improved your life...Celebrate those things and then turn to God and thank him for them! Sure helped my focus...

Anyone seen the movie Micheal Clayton...not very fast moving, but I think that was the point...the intensity kept my attention. My wife will tell you that I actually stayed awake during the movie and that is RARE! I listened to some of the directors commentary (I'm a special features nut!). That is a guy that did not give up on his idea...took him, I think, 6 years to get the movie done...kept hitting some roadblocks, but persistence pays off...plus he pursued George Clooney and finally got him to say yes...cool story of sticking with an idea and seeing it through...
