Weekly Spiritual Challenge: Margin

Here is a weekly Spiritual Challenge (starting tomorrow), designed to give us a practical way to grow in our spirit: 

Spend a bit of time conversing with God about how this will fit you- and how it will not, where the challenges will be in your relationships, schedule and personality.  Invite him in to work, create a few reminders of this challenge that you will encounter through the day and take a short time to reflect at lunch time or sometime midway through your day.

"The biggest factor for modern exhaustion and melancholy is that our lives lack margin. Most people are pushing every aspect of their lives to capacity – spending as much as they bring in (or more), working absurd hours to fuel their spending and their concept of a career, rushing through things in their life just so they can rush through more things. Then, when something bad happens (a job loss, etc.), we don’t have that extra gear – we have no margin."
