Writer's Block

I have no idea what to write about this evening. I'm sitting here staring at the blank screen, ready to type, but nothing is really coming out.

I'll simply talk about what's weighing on my heart.

The alarm went off at 5:00 AM, and it was time to begin the routine of getting ready for work, then walking to the bus stop and commuting to the Capitol building for a long pre-session work day. By the time five o'clock rolled around this afternoon, I was emotionally empty and more than ready to leave.

I woke up this morning with the best of intentions; I wanted to honor the Lord with everything I did today. I dressed up in a shirt, slacks and tie for no reason, other than to look my best. I packed plenty of food for the course of the long day, so my mind and body would perform at optimal levels and not be distracted with hunger or fatigue. The Daily Audio Bible podcast was speaking the Word into my eardrums; Everything was on track for success.

At around noon, I simply lost interest in everything and began to shut down. My productivity trailed off and I was just trying to pass the time with various tasks. God would not have been proud this afternoon. I totally blew it.

Please Lord, give me the strength and motivation to do my best tomorrow. Please extend your grace, mercy and opportunities for a new beginning, and the discipline to do what's right. Amen.

Good Night
