Thanks for the thoughts guys. Tom, I like how you worded it, "we should not "do" just to be "doing." What are the activities reconnect me to "Life?" And I guess that Life is inward and outward. Jason, one thing I noticed in your comment is that "being" and faith are quite similar, very connected, or the same. "live in a way that truly reflects what I believe." I like that!

This is especially poignant for me since I'm incredibly busy with my class on top of working full-time. I have a sense like I can't just be. Believe it or not, reading your blog has been a place of refreshment for me. It's a place where I can come and "be" and reflect a little bit. One of my personal (though poorly-defined) goals is to live in a way that truly reflects what I believe. I think everyone has a tension between what we want to do and what we really do. I'm thankful for the grace to live more in line with what I want to do. Seems like someone wrote about this around 2000 years ago...maybe addressing a church somewhere in Italy.
