For your reflection this week and to expand Kayla’s Sunday reflection, we have drawn quotes from a richly engaging book by Anita Amstutz, Soul Tending: A Journey Into The Heart of Sabbath (Nashville: Skylight Paths, 2018).
“An efficiently busy life that keeps us occupied without being harried and keeps our attention entirely on interesting outer things is probably more potentially destructive of spiritual growth than debauchery or alcohol or hard drugs…. On the other hand, a quiet, efficient, and busy life spent continuously in good works can shield us effectively from any plunge into the depth where the Divine can find us.”
–Morton Kelsey, The Other Side of Silence
