"Hurry kills everthing from compassion to creativity. And when you're in a hurry, you don't have time to get out of your routine, do you? No room for Spirit-led spontaneity....Here is the great irony: the priest and the Levite were probably on their way to the temple. They were so busy loving God that they didn't have time to love their neighbor. And that is when our routines become counterproductive."
~Mark Batterson, "Wild Goose Chase"
The snow this weekend gave us the perfect opportunity to slow down, to step outside of our routines, to embrace "Spirit-led spontaneity". (Everybody who knows me is aware of my need for patterns and predictability!)
