“We have become a nation of thoughtless rushers,
intent on doing before thinking,
and hoping what we do magically works out.
If it doesn’t, we rush to do something else,
something also not well thought-out,
and then hope for more magic.”

Meanwhile Martha was anxious about all the hospitality arrangements.
Martha (interrupting Jesus): Lord, why don’t You care that my sister is leaving me
to do all the work by myself? Tell her to get over here and help me.
Jesus: Oh Martha, Martha, you are so anxious and concerned about a million details,
but really, only one thing matters.
Mary has chosen that one thing, and I won’t take it away from her.

We busy ourselves accomplishing nothing, piling up assets we can never keep;
We can’t even know who will end up with those things.
In light of all this, Lord, what am I really waiting for?
You are my hope.
Psalm 39:6-7 The Voice
“We have become a culture that glorifies busy,
but there’s great benefit in creating Stillness in your life and reclaiming your time.”
