Time to think

I normally have so many things going on around me that it can be hard to take time to think about anything fully. So today, I was able to spend 4 hours shoveling snow and was able to actually think about stuff. Nothing all that important but it was good to get away from the distractions. I find that having something repetitive and mindless to do helps me think through whatever is on my mind. I also was able to finish an audio book of John Piper's "Desiring God". It was a pretty good book and worth the time to listen to it. He broadened my understanding of why God created us, to enjoy His presence in our lives forever. Seems simple, but it can be complicated. For anyone looking for a challenging book, check this one out some time.
