Surviving the Rat Race of Life!

Life can often be a blur, right? There are so many people to see, places to go, things to do EVERYDAY! If we are not careful, we can get sucked down the drain of "busyness!"  With this in mind, consider the following story:


 Long ago when Africa was still relatively unknown to the outside world, a European explorer was taking a group into the African interior.  He had hired a native guide along with a number of other natives to help carry the supplies.  After a mid morning break on the third day of a fast-paced march, the Africans refused to resume their trek.  When the European explorer asked the guide the reason for their refusal, the guide told him, “They just need a little more time to allow their souls to catch up to their bodies.”   Hmm.  I think all of us could learn a lesson from these guys.  Just as Jesus would get away to be alone with his Father (Matthew 14:13; Mark 1:35; Mark 6:31) – we too need to be sure to do the same.  As fast-paced as 21st century American life can be at times – we all need to take time to allow our souls to catch up to our bodies.  

Thanks for stopping by . . .
