Today in Flagstaff it’s raining.
Last night it was raining. It was raining in Flagstaff yesterday and the day before and the day before that. I ran into the individual that takes care of the golf course up here and he said that he hadn’t watered the course for over three weeks. Rain stops you from what you want to do outside and forces you inside to slow down. Yes. Slow down. Read a book. Make some hot chocolate. Take a nap. Stare out the window and watch the rain. Look at the raindrops fall from the pine needles. Or make a fire and watch the dance of the red, yellow and blue streaks of fire.
Maybe today as I am forced to do you can choose to do. Slow down. This journey is a marathon and not a sprint. Today take some time to enjoy the environment that surrounds you.

About James Gorton
I am happily married to Nadine, a person I've known for 20+ years. She and her late husband owned Airpark Auto Service where I took my car for years. Four years after my wife died we began dating and the rest is history. We have a blended family of 6 children between us and love visiting them across this country. We recently had our third grandchild between us. We love to hike, bike and ski.
I am a psychologist and do relational life coaching for marriages and families primarily. I love what I do and never get tired of seeing marriages and families move to more healthy places in their lives.
Five years ago my oldest daughter Deborah encouraged me to begin writing my thought into a blog I call my Jlog (Jim's log). I have become more and more passionate in connecting everyday experiences to spiritual truths. I hope that as you read my Jlog, you will gain insight into your personal life and experience true growth in your personal and relational life.
