balance is one of the things i struggle most with.  i find much of my time is spent wishing i was spending more time with my wife or my family.  when i finally get that back into balance, the pendulum swings the other way and i go through stretches that i don't feel as if i am spending enough focused time on building up this community of believers called the watershed.

i assume this is common, but i am only inside my own skin so who knows.  as is often the case, i point my sermons right in to the area of my deepest need, not because its all about me, but because i assume if i struggle with it, others might too.

so for the entire month of september, we're going to focus on finding better balance in our live.  my preparation has reminded me that my struggle with balance is more an obedience problem than a knowledge problem.  unfortunately, i know what to do, i just have a hard time putting it all together to live it.  but the funny ting about balance is that it is all throughout the scriptures.  apparently, God is pretty concerned about it and Jesus took it very seriously too.

so i invite you to come these next few weeks and see if God himself has something to say to you in the area of balance.  i know He's been working on me a lot.  Maybe you too?
