For most of us the school year has now come to an end. The natural reaction is to breathe a sigh of relief and start packing for the beach. However, judging by the fact that you’re reading this post you realize that, while the summer means more time to rest, there’s still work to be done.
Have you ever been stranded on the side of the road because you ran out of gas? Me neither. But I do vividly remember literally cruising (while praying) into gas stations a couple times because I had ignored the warning light on my gas gauge for too long. In fact, my wife will tell you I’m notorious for determining just how far I can keep driving once that light comes on.
“Many of us are being robbed of a life of meaning, not because we are not committed, but because we are over committed.” That’s how my pastor started his sermon on Sunday. I’ve heard these messages before, but it’s still something I struggle with regularly.
