My wife is not like that. She is one of those “Multitaskers” that you
hear about. 

I was watching on television a man juggling four balls in the air at the
same time. In the middle of his act, I stopped, looked at my wife and 
said, “That's you. You have too many balls in the air.” 

It is true. She can juggle four tasks at the same time and get them all
done perfectly. 

Don't get me wrong here. I respect and can appreciate that kind of work
ethic. I cheer her on and encourage her. There's only one small 
problem. 

Because my wife is a Multitasker, she expects the person who said, “I
do,” at the wedding altar to have the same work ethic. I've tried to 
explain this, but by the time I finished explaining it, she is already 
on to the next topic. I cannot possibly keep up. 

Even when we take a few vacation days, she cannot sit still and enjoy
the simple life. 

She does more on a two-day vacation spree than I do all year long. I
cannot keep up with her. I discovered if I let her do “her thing,” I 
will have the opportunity to do “my thing,” which is just enjoying the 
simple things of life. 

I was thinking of what David once said. “Teach me thy way, O Lord, and
lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies” (Psalm 27:11). 

Following the Lord is a very simple thing. Just trust Him and he will
lead you in a plain path.
