There's plenty said about the possessions that end up owning us, but I think that time is the more critical commodity to guard. I'm rediscovering that I must be very careful about what I allow to consume my life, individually and collectively. It isn't as if I'm not doing enough "spiritual things," but those things are no substitute for quiet prayer time. I'm spending too little time with the One who loves me most, even when I am handed a gift-wrapped opportunity.
Perhaps it's because I don't like the paper those opportunities have been coming wrapped in?
The thing is, there are plenty of good reasons to fill our lives up with activities that may be good and even important, but the best will always suffer greatly under the tyranny of the merely good.
