Have you ever let life and the lists take over? Has the list ever taken precedent over the important things in life?

BUT, setting aside time each and every day to spend time with God, like I do a friend has slipped from the routine. Part of this struggle came from my lack of sleep and late nights, making it difficult to get up in the morning. I like to start my day with God. We must never stop looking to Jesus.
