Drowning

Sometimes there is just so much going on in life that I feel like I am drowning. I don't know how I am going to make it through, I am behind in a lot of areas and I just can't seem to catch up on those things that are on my plate. I guess you can only eat an elephant one bite at a time and I know that. It is a challenge however. We press forward doing the best we can. That is one of my favorite things about the gospel. I love that it doesn't matter to the Savior where I am at in my spiritual progression. What matters is that I am on the path and I am doing those things he has asked me to do to the very best of my ability. I am grateful that he stands willing to make up the difference. I know that for me that gap is pretty wide.

I am grateful for moments when I can let everything go for a time and just be dad. It doesn't matter what else is going on in life, I can simply play with the kids. We shared a bit of time together tonight wrestling in the front yard. There were some pretty good laughs out there and I think everyone had a great time. I hope for more of those times. For now we press forward the best we can and enjoy those moments when we are able to come up for air.
