This week we looked at the other Greek word for time, "Chronos". Chronos refers to the flow of time, the cycles and patterns of hours and days and weeks that flow on through our lives. Pastor Dennis challenged us to recognize that our lives, and particulaly our journey with Jesus, are a marathon, not a sprint. We need to be engaged in the mission of God and working hard to live a life that honors him, but we also need to pace ourselves and embrace Sabbath rest, just as he did in creation. We need to balance work and rest and build rituals in our lives that help us to maintain a healthy pace.
