If I were to summarize the status of life in the US it would be with one word – busy. Isn't that what we all hear so often? We call a friend and ask how they are and they reply, “Well I'm busy with this and that…”. Then we pass someone in the grocery store, or at the mall, or Wal-Mart and say, “How are you?” -- and what is the top response? “Well, we have been busy with …”.
We are certainly a busy people, living in a busy nation, at the top of a busy world.
We have confessed as a society that we are busy. That means we have allowed ourselves, or chosen to be engaging our energies in filling up our lives with activities that take hold and control our time and we begin to be owned, possessed, and controlled by our activities.
So next time you say that you are busy you may be confessing that good activities have begun to take over and control your life. Which is fine unless something else suffers.
