In 1967, a Senate subcommittee was told that by 1985, the average American would work only 22 hours a week for 27 weeks a year. Well, we can maybe give them an “A” for effort? It would have been impossible for them to imagine the frenetic pace of life today – a pace that is suffocating our souls. Let’s pull back the curtain and see how society led us to the place of busyness – and recognize the toll it is extracting from us. Finally, we’ll see the gracious invitation that Jesus extends to us. To enter the easy burden of his yoke. To join him in his unhurried approach to life. And to put an end to the frenetic pace of hurry in our lives today.
