Top 5 Game Apps
Sometimes you just need to have some downtime. Occasionally, you need to take a break from taxing your mind and focusing on the task at hand and giving your brain a break. Once in a while, you need to do something mindless.
When those times happen, I have a few apps and games I turn to. These help me to break the monotony of work, and give my mind a break for a few minutes. This helps me to return to my focus with a renewed vigor. It helps me stay more focused on the things that need to be accomplished.
Each of these are used primarily on my iPhone 5s, but several of them cross the bridge to my iPad as well. Some I utilize on either device, others are used only on one or the other.
My Top 5 (6) Game Apps
Angry Birds
Of course, the list would start off with the Angry Birds franchise. Over the course of time, I’ve tried about all of the games that Rovio offers. I come back to a few solid stand-bys, though: the original, Seasons, and Star Wars. Angry Birds is free in the App Store. The others are currently priced at $.99.
You shall never make a missionary of the person who does no good at home.

The Son of God came to seek us where we are in order that he might bring us to be with him where he is.

Summer is wrapping up, and fall is near. Football season has begun, and the high school stadium is pretty busy on Friday nights. Soon there will be a chill in the air, and a bit of frost on the ground. I’m looking forward to it!
With the fall comes my annual trip to Colorado to spend a few days with several other men in ministry reconnecting with God. This is an event that I absolutely love, called Wilderness. It provides one of the greatest spiritual catalysts for me each year, and I won’t miss it. This is my sixth year to attend, and I’m really looking forward to it.
With fall around the corner, that means that the kids are back in school, and the craziness of summer has ended. My daughter is playing high school volleyball again, so I’m helping out with that in any way that I can. That usually includes announcing the starting lineups, standing as a line judge, and occasionally running the score board and clock.
This idea intrigues me. I frequently feel the need to take a nap, but too often, my naps go too long, either ruining the rest of my day because I slept too much, or by keeping me up all night, again because I slept too much.
I’ve tried several things, like holding my keys in my hand as I sleep in a recliner. When I fall asleep and drop them, the noise is supposed to wake me up. This has never been effective for me. Setting an alarm for 20 to 30 minutes doesn’t work well either, since I don’t feel the rest that’s supposed to come with such a “power nap.”
A coffee nap seems like just the thing to try over a lunch break here and there when my day just seems to keep on dragging along.
