The Danger of Busyness

You wake up and are getting ready to start the day. Over a quick cup of coffee, you scan the headlines, check status updates on Facebook and Twitter. Scan emails, and make your to do list. While driving to work, you dictate an email to your smartphone, and listen to the latest rss feeds. You arrive at work, check your daily schedule and stare at the massive amount of work on your desk, voicemails to respond to, and emails start arriving in your inbox. Lunch consists of a energy drink while you try and catch up on meetings, webinars and such. Your afternoon commute has you looking at where your kids need to be, and how you are going to get them there. There is still dinner to organize, wash to fold, trash to take out, and more. You get to bed, check emails one more time, and lay down to sleep, only to wake up a few hours later to start the day over again.

Does this sound like your day? Busyness is a disease that has overtaken our society. I haven't even touched on church work that needs to be done. This week, on Talkin Scripture, we will discuss the dangers of busyness, and take a look at what our real priorities needs to be.
