"Mrs Perpetual Motion" and the comment about quiet times not being mistaken for the bread of idleness REALLY struck home. My husband refers to me as "the EverReady Bunny"! I am a teacher, I also am the chairperson/organizer for 4 organizations plus I am a performing musician! Somewhere in all of that I've offered to lead a Bible study and start a quilting group. I have a difficult time just relaxing--without having to be "productive". My therapist, my husband, my elderly aunt and several other folks have been recently been urging me to SLOW down. Trying to get to the root of my reason for keeping busy, I think it really does stem back to my upbringing and actually hearing that verse plus others about God hating sluggardness, etc. So, thanks for your article. I will think about it often as I try to even out my schedule. I must remember that even Jesus would get away from everyone to just rest. You can write back to me if you'd like. Thanks again for your article!
