2 much 2 do?

If you're like me, then you're always facing the fact that there is 2 much 2 do.
At times it becomes overwhelming.
The todo lists are speckled with reminders to check the other todo lists...
And there is that feeling of never really being on top or 'in control' of all that there is 2 do...

Not that all that is right. But that's the way the feeling is.
I, for one, must continue to learn to live this moment to the full. Not project myself into some future time and live for then.

A few nights ago driving back from a rare day out, Annette and I arrived moments after a spectacular accident. A care was in the middle of the twisty road we were driving along - upside down. The two young people were still trapped inside. As we got out into the freezing Welsh black night and helped them (fortunately neither of them were badly injured) I was reminded of the fact that life is precious, short and to be lived to the max.
It's so easy to let opportunities slip by.
Many seem to vegetate from one day to the next with little sense of purpose of direction.
Many are submerged by the fact there is 2 much 2 do.

May it not be so for us.

December 2010 - News update

Ouch! It’s quite painful to think how long it is since we’ve sent out news. Of course there’s the blog , and Facebook and Twitter .. but they’re not always updated. So here goes: an impossible task – to summarize many months in a few paragraphs! :)   In a few words? God is good!!! FAMILY: Annette continues to co-exist with M.E./CFS . Energy is still limited and she needs care to administer what she has. She has continued to develop her friendships locally as well as connecting as much as possible with friends in Italy too.  We are thankful for a measure of health and for God’s presence in times of questions… Rox has just turned 20! Hard to believe! In June she completed 3 (happy) years at College. These however had not done much to prepare her for the next stage of life. As we prayerfully explored the next step, and visited more than 10 places, we ‘came across’ a specialized college in a nearby town. All the staff is specifically geared to assist those with ...

Very occasional!

If you're like me, you'll be looking for regular updates and news on a blog. Which makes this one quite dismaying. :( Maybe 2009 will see a change on our part, so keep watching this space. Don't be very occasional in thinking about us and praying for us... Grazie. Sempre avanti!

FOCUS

One of the challenges of life is to be able to focus. When you're driving (especially me!). When you're writing an essay. When you're despairingly looking at a never-ending to-to list. But above all, in being able to distinguish between what is peripheral and what is central. So often our blur occurs because we focus on the peripheral and not on the central. And this can happen when facing situations, feelings, issues, dreams, opportunities... As you think of us pray that our focus might be clear. Please.
