“Our nervous system was not designed to process global tragedy at breakfast, respond to work emergencies at supper and fall asleep doom scrolling before trying to sleep. Our brain never consented to this arrangement.” -Michell C. Clark
Many of us are deeply concerned about the ways of our current government, about war and tragedy, about injustice being done to many. We are not obligated to fix the problems of the world, nor are we permitted to abandon the work we can do.
We are the followers of The Way. We are to do what the Christ did and does. We are the Partner People- called into partnership with God. And as Jesus did, we are to care for the gift of self. Quiet renewal, sleep, rest, be in nature, prayer, celebrating Life with others.
It’s a delicate balance that needs our awareness. But we are together in this balance. We are in community. You and I, thank God, are never alone. The Risen One goes alongside us.
