Finishing the Gauntlet
To complete my assignments, a quickened pace must be considered. Moving through the HOBO gauntlet often finds me outdone at HO or HOB. Getting to HOBO seems a Herculean task, beyond my reach or ability. This morning's journal entry , however, instructs. I have to be quick about doing what I know to do. Pace is [also] driven by knowing why a thing needs to be done. Urgency quickens feet and fingertips and getting all the way through the gauntlet, each time, is becoming more important. Content at each station impacts different efforts in my life and leaving engagements unfinished affects the next steps in my life. A newer approach to the gauntlet begins with an old strategy. Start with the Bible and stay there until the Lord speaks. Using scripture to get my writing day started is different than starting my day with scripture and writing what comes to me. If nothing comes to me, reading scripture is still excellent preparation to write; to write well a writer must read well.
