Distractions!

I have been working on other things besides Creative Call a lot lately. I am trying to organize my collected recipes and my mothers. My mother collected lots or recipes and cookbooks. I let most of them go when she was in a nursing home and my dad had died and I was trying to select what could be let go of and what had to be kept. Much of it had ended up in gallon ziplock bags in the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet, not terribly useful for cooking. I’m over half way into the project and I’m starting to just want it over with.

I have also been doing some rather massive Bible studies with a friend. Now I’m trying to get back to my other books. I’m only one chapter away from the end of Creative Call. But as usual I have a dozen or more books started wanting me to finish them. I guess I got into having a dozen or more books going at any given time. I honestly want to finish them all but I’m stuck with a 24 hour day.

The next book I will be concentrating on I bought back in 2001 and started reading it but found it to basic. Now I am trying to help a new Christian get in touch with God. And a basic book is just the ticket. It is giving me a good excuse to finally finish one of the many books sitting in my shelf , but of course I will have to start over at the beginning to be of any use to my friend.

I will still be finishing Creative Call soon because I read it a little every week while I take my FIL to his doctors appointments that gives me about an hour’s block of time I will have to be sitting and waiting, away from doing dishes or laundry, or baking a cake I don’t need. Or even the cookbook project all things that steal the most precious commodity Time.

What I should be doing is reading all those books and many others. Or writing, I have written more than just this blog. I have been published in print on 2 continents and on the internet and there is no telling how far that goes. In the various groups I have been part of online I have met people from all over America, England, Canada, Australia, Japan, Africa, India, Russia, and I have no idea how many other places.
