Soul Feast

How can this be Thursday? It has been a whirlwind week. I have been juggling church responsibles and attending the S.C. School of Ministry at Springmaid Beach. As I race to and fro, many of the words of speaker, Marjorie Thompson, ring in my ears. Her book, Soul Feast, has long been one of my favorites about Christian spiritual life, so it has been a real treat to hear her soft voice invite us into a contemplative time. (This book is in our library).

Tidbits to ponder:
Why do we fail our spirituality? - Perhaps is is because we are impressed by work, find it to be a lack of priority, have a fear of facing the deep center.
Sabbath time - fallow time for overworked soil of our lives.
Contemplative time and space are vessels of vision.
Do less and be more.

Do we schedule OUR life around OUR priorities - rather than live life towards one prority, a better relationship with God?
