Are You a Quality Time Blogger?

Quality Time
     You think about writing new entries all day long, knowing full well there's not enough time in eternity for the amount of blogging you want to do! You try to figure out the best time of day to blog. Maybe first thing in the morning, while the kids are still asleep—oh, but that takes away from your time with the Lord. That won't do! There's mid-morning, but the breakfast dishes are piled up and you can't find a clean plate. Not now! There's afternoon, but your homeschool day isn't going as planned—you didn't do phonics with Sally or math with Johnny, and a nap is looking good right now. There's 5:00 p.m., but do people really read the blog at that time of day? At dinnertime it’s also time to face the facts—blogging won't fill the family’s stomachs. Besides, you didn't make a meal earlier because you were trying to figure out how to squeeze some time in for blogging. Now, you could blog after a dinner of wieners, chips, and baked beans (on paper plates of course), but that would take away from family read-aloud time. But if you’re really thinking, there is a way around that one! Yep, you’ll read something short like Alice in Bibleland, instead of a chapter of Pilgrim’s Progress. Finally (by 9 p.m.), when the little ones have brushed their teeth, said their prayers, and are tucked snugly into their beds... the big kids are still up and—you guessed it—HOGGING the computer! At 11:30 p.m. the big kids lumber off to bed. At last you can write to your heart's content...but you're feeling kind of sleepy and uninspired. Maybe tomorrow you'll write the blog of all blogs...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Your blog cup of quality time is empty.

Jill, you write my heart...

I have been reading your series about all of this blogging stuff. I have enjoyed it so much and found the Lord really showing me some things in the midst of all of it. This is my blogging heart right here - my blogging language so to speak. I want to give quality time to so many things, including blogging. There is so much to ponder... Thank you!!!
