Re-gaining the thought life

While being a Pastor it was easy to have a large chunk of my thought life consumed with Godly things. Lately I haven't found myself thinking those thoughts as often.

My actions haven't changed much. I still read the Bible, pray, and journal every morning, but throughout the day it just seems to pop in my head less often. I can't decide what I think about that.

Part of it is natural. I'm not spending my "work time" planning for the spiritual impact of a group anymore. I'm not even spending that time debating/discussing church practice with other staff members. Those conversations often spilled into my thoughts and conversations with others throughout the day.

I imagine that when I start at Seminary, my thought life will again be focused largely on "spiritual" (I hate defining things by this term) things.

I'm just curious why I spend so much less time doing that now.
