I thought about this the other day when I was sitting in my office. I was writing something down and because it was on my mind and I wanted to finish it, I wouldn’t stop for anything, even to go to the bathroom.  So I finished what I was doing, went to the bathroom and then came back. When I looked at what I had written right before I went to the bathroom, it was ridiculous! It was quite scattered and disjointed and I ended up having to write it all over again. I wasted time and almost peed on myself.

This got me to thinking though. How many other things do I try to rush through when I really have to go to the bathroom? Do I look back at those things and realize how much I messed them up before I finally went to the bathroom? So I started running through all the times that I’ve really had to go to the bathroom at some point during a worship set. I vividly remember rushing through a song set when I was playing for a church in Arkansas because I didn’t get the chance to go between rehearsal and the start of the first service. I then thought about how bad I must have sounded. After that, I replayed countless mornings where I may have rushed a song or cut out a song in a set because nature seemed to be calling while God was working.

Now I KNOW I’m not the only one who has dealt with this issue. Am I the only one willing to talk about it? I hope not…
