Byrnesys Blabberings

Maggi Dawn posted this superb quote on Prayer the other day, which makes me think I need to read something by Philip Yancey:

God in a life behind schedule…

"Increasingly, time pressures crowd out the leisurely pace that prayer seems to require. Communication with other people keeps getting shorter and more cryptic: text messages, email, instant messaging. We have less and less time for conversation, let alone contemplation. We have the constant sensation of not enough: not enough time, not enough rest, not enough exercise, not enough leisure. Where does God fit into a life that already seems behind schedule?"

Philip Yancey, Prayer, p. 15
