Laziness

I will put it out there. I AM LAZY. I like the easy way out. I like lazy days. I like naps and sleeping in. I like not mopping my kitchen floor until it is covered with 3 inches of I don't want to know what. I like reading in bed all day. You get the picture.

And although a little bit of lazy is good for the soul, "But when there's too much of nothing it just makes a fella mean." (Bob Dylan.)

I am at that point!

I need a serious kick in the butt. I need accountability. I need to be productive.

I have 24 hours a day. I should be able to give time to the Lord, get everything done, have some fun time, have some relaxing time, and still get a good night's rest.

So what is wrong. I AM LAZY! I am not giving time to God. My walk with Him is lacking. Also I prefer the relaxing and fun stuff to any actual work.

The first step I need to take is to wake up (at a reasonable hour, like 8) and spend time with the Lord right away. Next I need to add exercise to my day. I have the time, I just don't want to.

I am not pleasing God with my actions. I am not blessing my family with my actions. And I certainly am not doing myself any favors.

Please pray for God to wake me up in am and for me to actually get up. Pray I would give him that first hour of my day. Pray this would happen tomorrow.

p.s. while you are praying, pray my hot water heater stops going out every single night. AHHHHHH!!!!

Too Much of Nothing Bob Dylan
Too much of nothing
Can make a man ill at ease
One man's temper might rise
While another man's temper might freeze
In the day of confession
We cannot mock a soul
Oh, when there's too much of nothing
No one has control.

Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Give them all my salary
On the waters of oblivion.

When there's too much of nothing
It can cause a man to weep
He can walk the streets and boast like
Of what he'd like to keep
But it's all been done before
It's all been written in the book
And where there's too much of nothing
Nobody should look.

Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Give them all my salary
On the waters of oblivion.

And too much of nothing can make a man a liar
It can cause one man to sleep on nails
It can cause others to eat fire
Everybody's doin' somethin'
I heard it in a dream
But when there's too much of nothing
It just makes a fella mean.

Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Give them all my salary
On the waters of oblivion.
