Rajneesh Osho was an Indian spiritual leader, and philosopher.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t reading his writing but came across a quote of his from another writer – \u201cLife is a balance between rest and movement.\u201d\u00a0 A possible solution to being unbalanced comes from a catholic leader, Richard Cushing (who I wasn\u2019t reading either) – \u201c Always plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.\u201d\u00a0 Assuming these two writers were correct, I am both unbalanced and running out of time to plan ahead. I travel once a month to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas to teach pastors and church leaders, I write the scripts and record two Podcast each month, I post \u201cDr. Dan\u2019s Monday Morning Manna\u201d on social media once a week, I teach a prayer course online for Southwestern Baptist Seminary in the fall, I\u2019m currently serving in my 30th Interim Pastorate, and I\u2019m working on my 29th book. I am a long-time participant in Citizens on Patrol (COPS) in my neighborhood and an active member of the Fort Worth Citizens Police Academy Alumni.\u00a0 Rest?\u00a0 I highly recommend it.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t have much time for it.\u00a0 Planning ahead.\u00a0 I\u2019m not very good at that anymore, either. I like the Psalmist\u2019 strategy better – \u201cNow also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come\u201d (Psalm 71:18).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
