i hope i’m not too late
Perhaps it is too late for a Christmas post, but just in case it isn’t, here is a meditation on peace from John Stackhouse, that I have returned to reread many times.
What grips me the most is the reminder, that for me to proclaim a peace, but cultivate a lifestyle of overwork and chaos is a great and dangerous hypocrisy. I have the opportunity to take a short retreat this week. This will mean a lot less peace for my wife, but I am trying not to feel guilty about that and instead just be thankful for the gift. I will be neither writing nor reading my blog. I wonder how long I might be able to avoid e-mail or even think about one thing without interruption. I am excited to see what God might do if I open myself to an opportunity for Christ’s peace.
on the walk
