On The Wagon?

This last week I have “fallen off the wagon” the spiritual wagon…so to speak…as I have not made it to morning mass one single time. I would like to blame it on the “time change” but that logic does not hold water…as I should be getting up an hour earlier but no…I can’t even get up an hour later. Maybe it is some systemic poisoning from the Halloween candy as I spent the entire weekend trying to empty a huge bowl of every sort of nasty candy known to man. In the past there were always trick-er-treater’s to help me but not this year. I shouldered the entire job…all…by…myself. Maybe I am too busy with all the jobs I have to do “when I have time” as they put it. The problem is I don’t have time to do everything I need to do with the little bit of precious time there is. There’s no way I ever get to it “when I have time”. So I have to do it now…because I will never ever have the time. Well that excuse won’t work either…it’s too confusing.

I need to stop and get my priorities prioritized, get my life in order and order in my life. It is strange and scary how easy it is to get off track. And how extremely difficult it is to put the train back on the tracks once it jumps off. So, I better go to bed early and get rested up, so I can climb back on the wagon tomorrow morning.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for giving me a leg up.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Please give me the strength to stay on the wagon for the long haul.
Amen.
