Help me ponder a couple phrases from this soon to release book: “I was Busy, Now I’m Not.” In which Dr. Joseph Peck inscribed, “We live in a hurry Sick Culture! To be Spiritually Healthy, you must ruthlessly eliminate Hurry from your life.”[1] Jesus embroiders the knowledge and reality of modern society through Dr. Peck because a heartless culture is indeed nauseating. People need Time to develop feelings in their relationships with God and daily encounters; are you emotionally healthy or sick?
The Holy Spirit sent Dr. Peck’s insight to us this morning to redeem the importance of Slow Time. In fact, I had rushed off as usual to attended morning Mass this Veterans Day, (mistakenly an hour too soon) only to be reverted back home Mystically to page seventy-nine of “The Time Doctor’s book.”(Front cover)
Sharing Eucharist each morning is fabulous, but writing Spiritual Insight takes precedence over certain disciplines when the Message is Life Saving; in our days to come let’s muse other Souls with both Timeless Devotion and Wisdom of Prayer.
“I am the vine and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch that doesn’t produce fruit, and He prunes the fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned for greater fruitfulness by the message I have given you.
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful apart from me.” (John 15:1-4 NLT)
Our Lord’s Support Network has eclipsed current headlines with shocking news: God’s Alive and made whole in YOU! Peace of mind allows Salvation to take root. Slowing this New Millennium will take Fruitful Ministries who appreciate Gifts of Contemplation; can God rely on your Timely Devotion?
