FREEDOM!

I use Google reader, love Google reader, would marry Google reader but that would be polygamy and, really, just weird. The problem is that, over the holidays I fell behind in my reading. Way behind. I mean, when I opened it up this morning I had well over 300 entries waiting for me!

I was overwhelmed. How was I going to read all this stuff. And then it hit me.......just scroll over it!

You see, for those of you who don't use Google Reader (what is your problem!!!) no, no.....sorry

You see, for those of you who don't use Google Reader, once you've scrolled through the article you're reading, it automatically takes it out of your 'to read' pile. You're 'to read' number decreases.

Theoretically, you could just spin that scroll wheel like a game of roulette and reduce your 'to read' count to zero in about 10 seconds.

One catch.........that thought made me feel guilty! Can you believe that?!?!?! It took me about 6 hours before I was ready to scroll away this little piece of stress in my day. But once I started......pure pleasure......like cake (a re-occurring theme in my life)

So here's the lesson....

'His yoke is easy, His burden is light' is not just about the big stuff, heavy stuff, deep theological stuff, keeps you awake at night stuff, think my ulcer is going to explode stuff, we might loose the farm stuff, how is my kid going to go to school stuff, I'm not sure all 4 of us can fit into one cardboard box on the side of the road stuff.......

Freedom comes in all sizes.

Today it was small.
