It was Tuesday and, like any other Tuesday, I was sitting at my desk, Bible open, wrestling with the upcoming Sunday's sermon outline. In short, I was being a good pastor, doing the hard work of preparing to put another meal on the table for my church family. In the midst of my faithful stewardship of the pastoral responsibility God has given me (said in a pompous and sarcastic tone), I received the following text message from my wife:

It's time to kill our excuses. It's time to stop blaming our busyness. It's time to start running our lives instead of allowing our lives to run us. It's time to start reading God's Word...EVERYDAY! To make this desire a reality will require three simple keys.
