Time To Strip

I am a fan of Gnarls Barkley.  I mean, who isn't, right?

Recently, I heard a take on their song "Crazy" that I can only describe as simply brilliant.


Tremendously simple and it may be my favorite cover.  After watching the original and then the stripped down version, I was reminded how taking some ideas or habits I have in my life could improve if I simplified them.

I have really wanted to pray with and read to my kids at night but they are in different bedrooms.  One of them wants me to read until she falls asleep and another wants to just see pictures and drink chocolate milk.  We are talking about 2 hours a night and trying to fit this in just is not practical.

Time to strip.

I can do this all together.  Pile in one bed, pray and read together. With chocolate milk in hand, of course.

I am also trying to strip down how I connect with others, how I work, and even how I pray.  I don't see simplifying as just gaining time but becoming a more effective parent, friend, and spouse.  A better me.

What is something amazing in your life that you can strip down to make it epic?
