T-O-O B-U-S-Y

I once heard a Pastor turn the phrase I'm "too busy" into an acronym, which when spelled out read "Totally Over Occupied Being Under Satan's Yoke." It's a penetrating illustration of the dangers of making/allowing oneself to become "too busy" to pursue the Lord, enjoy life, strengthen relationships, or any other healthy act of living life. We're a nation of fast food, faster computers, cell phone/PDAs, skype, etc. and we've learned how NOT to sit still and be quiet.
I say all this to confess that it has been quite a while since my last post. I too fail to dismount the hill of tasks and duties that I pile up for myself. May the Lord teach us to sit still, be quiet, and hear Him.
