328. Weapons of Mass Distraction By Laurent Grenier
     Anything that draws one away from the business of living and being worthy – such as drugs, alcohol, distractions of all descriptions, and sleep when the intent is oblivion, not to mention the idea of killing oneself – is a means of escaping, a little death, and death itself is the ultimate escape.Anything can be a means of avoiding problems. The means is variable; the end is immutable. Escapism is what it is whichever form it assumes and all ma…

     I love to talk about Purposeful Living with others and share how it’s affected my life. But sometimes when I get to the part about doing what you need to do my listeners eyes glaze over and I know I’ve lost them.

     Eleven years ago I had just graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary and the Senior Minister I was serving with encouraged me to write a letter to the editor of the local newspaper. A radical group of New Testament scholars, operating under the title The Jesus Seminar, had come to town for one of their annual meetings. Their task, as a group of professionals, was to decide which teachings of Jesus actually came from his mouth, and which we…
