What's Really Important

Why is it only when there's a crisis I focus on the truly important things? Why is it so easy on a regular basis to lose sight of all that matters most and get caught up in things that ultimately don't matter at all? Is it a good sign that at least we do think of what's important sometimes? It's definitely a bad sign that I can feel the unimportant creeping in even in a crisis... I want to try to be concerned with the important on a daily, moment-to-moment basis...there are (thank the Lord!) a whole lot more of the "mundane" moments than crisis moments...I don't want to waste it all on the meaningless.

What to say?

So, according to a book about blogging that I (partially) read, it is important to write about a thing or things you are passionate about. What am I passionate about? God, Jesus, my family, homeschooling, learning, food...surely there's lots to say about all these things? If He gives me the words, can I motivate myself to share them?

Why. Oh why?

I want to write. Really, I do. Except I must not really, or I would. My husband wants -needs - to draw, and should, but so far he doesn't, and I get onto him about it sometimes...he's been blessed with a gift he should use, he enjoys it...but so have I; so do I, and I don't either. What's the deal? Why, oh why, do we not do that which we should do?
