I will attack my deadly sins one at a time for the next few blogs. Not preaching, just musing.
Busyness--a recent book called busyness a draining, ungodly sin akin to idolitry. So true. It wreaks havoc in homes by robbing families of family time and God time; it creates a frenzied, harried pace in life; it really says loudly that "No one can do this but me."
We wear busyness like a badge of honor expecting a reward for getting 42 things done in an hour. We excuse all manner of more important things like worship on Sunday because of a soccer game or visiting and giving love and care to relatives because of "pressing commitments." We miss family dinner time where communication thrives to take children to violin, archery or etiquette lessons. We have no quiet time with God because we are hooked on e-mails and cell phones. Our times are in God's hands; and the time we live is so short, one would think that we would learn what is important in this life. Alas, many do not.
