Well, It's About Time

Time.  How much do you have?  What is it for?  What is your experience of time like?  Are there healthy or unhealthy ways to experience it?  Diane Ulmer and Leonard Schwartzburd in "Treatment of Time Pathologies" (an article referenced in the American Psychological Association's  Heart and Mind:  The Practice of Cardiac Psychology in 1996) have identified three kinds of Time Pathologies that can have an impact on our health.  They label these "Time Pressure," "Time Urgency," and "Hurry Sickness."  Click here and look on page 63 for more information.  In addition,  Michael Ventura's article "The Age of Interruption" in a series of articles on "Prisoners of Time" in the Family Networker, Jan/Feb 1995 also writes about the way our experience of time has changed in modern times, and how it impacts our health.

How we experience matters.  Scripture speaks to us powerfully about this issue as we reflect upon the creation story, the gift of Sabbath, and its implication for how we live now.  This is what Pastor Ken explores with us in the sermon today.
