RUSH TO OBLIVION

(These thoughts are added to each day. Scroll down and read previous One A Days.)

In a novel, The Way of All Flesh, a young ministerial candidate has a nervous breakdown. He is on a too fast treadmill, caught between a traditionalist view and a more liberal view of looking at things. In rushing in a crazy-quilt life, back and forth between the two he has worn himself out. Then comes on the scene the wise, old doctor prescribing a cure. “Go to the zoo and daily study the elephants,” advises the physician. Willing to try anything the young man follows the instructions. Day after day he observes and studies the slow but steady movements of these ponderous pachyderms.

Not far away from the elephants he has also observed the tigers frantically pacing back and forth. Rushing to nowhere. Impatient, and rightly so. Nervous, and without restraint. But nevertheless, rushing to nowhere.

And bit by bit the message fights through and sinks in. He begins to understand that he must slow his pace. Find a new rhythm. Find a proper balance in his life.

"I have come that (YOU) may have life, and that (YOU) may have it more abundantly." —John 10:10
