Stepping off the merry-go-round...
Pastor Doug Kelly gave an interesting sermon today. It's the first of a series on the inappropriate hectic life we lead.
Here was his conclusions to avoid a life 'overbooked, over scheduled and overwhelmed.
>Set aside a day or 'Sabbath' each week. It doesn't have to be Sunday or Saturday but just a day of rest.
>Develop a rhythm to your week.
>Don't fear taking a retreat once in a while.
>Rule your calendar. Don't overload your schedule.
I'd add a few other thoughts. Satisfaction in life does not always require some activity, work or accomplishment. Reflection, self-improvement, reading and the like all can be rewarding. We don't have to be in control of our corner of the world every minute of the day.

Think about it....
