Spring Clean Your Life
posted by: Lisa Hendey
I know I'm jumping the gun by a few days, but the lovely weather hear in Fresno has filled me with Spring fever. Last night, I sat with my son at a Boy Scout Court of Honor, listening to young men from our parish receive various scouting awards. One of them had earned a merit badge for personal management. The young man had spent over ninety days accounting for his personal finance and engaging in time management tactics, including creating and adhering to a personal schedule. Our Scout Master commended this young scout for the fact that his daily schedule, created by his own hand, always commenced each day with time for prayer.
Wow, what a reminder to the many time starved parents in the building that we all need to keep our priorities straight. What better way to start and end your day than with silent worship time? It was a potent reminder for me that creating blocks of time for silence and prayer in my daily schedule is a must.
On a separate note, congratulations to our Mike St. Pierre for his inclusion in this list of Top 100 Productivity Blogs . A well deserved recognition for a man who helps so many of us live our lives better each day.
