Meditations on God

It’s tempting to get involved in the drama of life.

When the world around you seems to be going crazy, it can be difficult not to follow along.

Emotions are contagious.

At some point, however, you have to decide which is more important to you, being involved or being at peace.

It is possible to do both, but only if your peace precedes and informs your involvement.

Realize that anything that pulls you away from your peace is ultimately a distraction, a detour from your purpose.

And it is highly unlikely that your purpose is to follow the crowd into madness.
