Managing to Think

While this article is geared towards Christian living and study, I think what it says is very applicable to all of our lives. As I mentioned in the last post, we live very noisy lives. There are almost constant distractions to keep us from thinking and reflecting. I often wonder where we'd be now if the country spent a little more time critically thinking about what we're being told and reflecting on the long-term significance of impending actions. But more than that, I think that a reflective life leads to a more fulfilled life. It is so easy to squander a day or a week that years seem to slip by unnoticed.

Or, perhaps I'm just starting my midlife crisis a couple of years early.
