I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed by all that needs to be done over the next week and a half before I will be out of town for a month on speaking engagements to Houston and Venezuela.  There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day, at least not for me.  However, I have been reminded that people are more important than tasks and while I can put some things off until tomorrow, I will never be able to get a moment back with someone I love.  I'm not advocating procrastination, but priorities.  Jesus taught us that well and it was a joy to discuss that with the Iron Rose Sister Ministries group I meet with on Sunday nights as we looked at how Jesus handles interruptions (chapter 11 of Human AND Holy, available through www.IronRoseSister.com).

Yesterday, I was trying to get so many things done at once that I had trouble concentrating on any one task.  I eventually got a few things done, but the list for tomorrow is ever-growing.  It was a day in which I was highly-distractible and multi-tasking became my enemy rather than my ally.

Even in my prayers, I seemed unable to complete a thought.  I kept jumping from one thing to another, thankfully that God is bigger and clearer than my scatter-brained self.  So, my prayer for you and for myself on this Transformational Tuesday is from Romans 12:2.  May we be transformed by the renewing of our minds.  I know I need a mental renewal and transformation.  How about you?
