The start of slowing down

I am committing to sabbath - moments of reflection. Stop and smell roses impulses. One minute vacations.

I'm too busy and know I'm too busy - so I stay busy! In the weeks ahead this will change. It needs to. There are too many God-moments being missed. There are too many really good, really important things that are overwhelming the Great things.

So it begins... I have a suspicion the first phase will be a time of detoxification. Slowing down takes a lot of work! Listening to silence can get real noisy until the extra stuff finally leaves my mind.

May the meditations of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my Strength and Deliverer.
