“If the enemy can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.”
If someone asked you today, “Are you busy?”
Most of us would laugh and say, “Up to my eyeballs… maybe my eyelids too.”
But here’s the deeper question hiding underneath the humor:
Busy doing what?
A few thoughts worth sitting with:
1️⃣ Time is our most precious commodity.
Not money. Not talent. Not opportunities.
Once it’s spent, it’s gone.
So the real question isn’t “Am I busy?” but “Am I investing my time in what actually matters most?”
2️⃣ Rest isn’t a reward—it’s a requirement.
We were never designed for nonstop output.
In fact, the day after Adam and Eve were created, God commanded rest—
not to recover from the work, but to prepare for the work ahead.
Rest is how we get ready.
All work and no rest doesn’t make us heroes… it makes us hollow.
Rest refuels clarity, restores joy, and recalibrates purpose.
Busyness isn’t always a badge of honor.
Sometimes it’s a quiet thief—stealing our presence, our peace, and our priorities.
Maybe the goal isn’t to do more…
Maybe it’s to do what matters most, with margin to breathe, laugh, and be fully present.
Never stop getting better—by getting intentional with your time.
Just an amazing intro to an incredible college football game. Back when things more than NIL money and the transfer portal were important. Take me back.
@DevinAlbertson Coach Stucky is a helluva guy who does it right! Never say die - it’s not who you are at the beginning of the season, it’s who you are at the end. It’s all about growth!
It’s easier to sleep in, than it is to stand out.
It’s easier to blame, than it is to get better.
It’s easier to complain, than it is to compete.
It’s easier to give up, than it is to give it your all.
But easier DOESN’T = better!
Hey Missouri 8-Man Football Community, please take a moment out of your day to support the Bush family down in Osceola who lost their son in a car accident Monday afternoon.

PARENTS: There are very few things that you can say from the bleachers that will ever make your child play better.
Just sit back and enjoy the game, cheer for your child, cheer for the team, and take it all in!
It will be much more enjoyable for you and your child.
