You’ve noticed in the previous two blogs that I have been reading Life Is Messy by Matthew Kelly. By his own admission, the book itself is messy: no major parts, no chapters, just a series of 1-3-page sections such as A New Path, which I wrote about Sunday, and Slow Down, which was our topic yesterday. At the end of the book, he still had material left over from his journals, so he listed a number of ideas without comment.

The first one is haunting me, and I offer it here without further comment, just as he did:

You cannot live a meaningful life by filling your life with meaningless things and activities. – Matthew Kelly, Life is Messy, page 150.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5.15, 16, ESV)
