It has been so long since I have done anything besides work. I am thirty pounds over weight again. I am a mess spiritually. I am about as undisciplined as I could possibly be. I am in the escape mentality.  

So here I am in Jackson, Wy on a getaway with a couple of my sons. Cass and Cavin get very little Dad time compared to the older and younger children so with Kristi gone home to Kentucky for a Wedding and me with four days off, the guys and I are out to have a good time.

 While on this trip my hope is to get glued back together. To remember who I am and why I am here. Also to refocus my heart which has been so wrapped up in work lately that I can’t seem to get my attention anywhere else.

 

Why is it so easy to lose sight of the holy, of the beautiful, of God? Why is it so easy to become blind to everything that matters? Why do I so quickly become soiled with guilt, sin?

 

What would I like to accomplish this weekend?

• I would like to get my heart right with God
  
• I would like to get my health back on track
• I would like to really enjoy my sons
• I would like to rest and refresh

So today we will go snow tubing. Maybe we will go to the Elk Refuge and maybe we will play some games.
