Why do we stay so busy sometimes, or all the time? One reason is that we always have something to prove. We are just not good enough unless and until we get this and that done. We want to show that we are on top of stuff. To not do something on our list is to be less than or even a failure. And we have to do it well. But there is just so much time in a day. We end up going to bed a failure for not getting this and that done. This need to prove keeps us so busy that we fail to have any time to meditate. Such do nothing prayer gets in the way of the do something life. So what do you need to prove today? Who is scoring your life?

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
