Our relationships do indeed pay the price – along with our spirit and the world outside our walls – for our failures in this area.

Cheers.

A great statement in a world that is focused on the calendar of events and to do lists. To often it is our relationships – with God, others and creation, that suffer from shallowness and superficiality. John Ortberg says that one of the great dangers facing Christians today is not that they will renounce their faith and storm away from the church, but rather we will become so busy with the idolatrous busyness that Anderson refers to, and remain shallow in our relationship with God and others, only skimming the surface of how great our God is. We will not truly engage life as God has called us.

Kent, I agree that we must become intentional about each of the different rhythms of life and recognize that they do not fit perfectly into the Franklin Covey pie chart. By placing these rhythms as daily priorities and allowing them to exist elastically with each other is a very realistic and practical application. By placing all four (personal spirtuality, communal spirituality, vocation/calling, and family) within the context of holy busyess is the key.

This is a great review and I thank you for your practical and very real application.
