Busyness: The Enemy of the Soul
those who have heard me talk about being busy will realize why I liked this post… Thanks to Pastor Nick for these helpful thoughts

“Haven’t seen you much lately. What have you been up to?” “Oh, I’ve just been really busy.”
“We should really get together sometime.” “Yeah, I’d love to. Things are just really busy right now.”
