How’s Discipline?

 

Day 25 —

 Do you wonder how it’s going?

 

I’m connecting with God over my first cup of coffee.
I’ve dropped a few pounds.
My flower beds are all presentable

— but —

My desk is a disaster.
10 AM and I’m still in my PJs.
My schedule is . . . in truth, it isn’t.

George Herbert (1593-1633) sums it up:

“I will complain, yet praise;
I will bewail, approve;
And all my sour-sweet days
I will lament, and love.”

 

Poet George Herbert went from politics to priesthood (Church of England), from parliament to country parish.
