     As school is now back in session for most people (I start next week!), our schedules start to transition from our summer time mode.  With that comes the busyness of the season, and our lives can tend to fill up with lots of extra activities and extra items for the shopping cart.  Whether it's an extra pack of paper or another pack of glue sticks, there always seems to be something else that we need to get.
      The one thing we should always remember to take with us wherever our paths lead us is the love of Christ. That shouldn't be extra, for it's what we should always have with us.
      So as school schedules become easier as the weeks go on and you finally figure out the new traffic patterns, remember that God is always there with you, and he will help you navigate the busyness of life no matter what season you're in.
