I was listening to a podcast this morning where the speaker slurred over the word “nauseating.” It sounded like “noiseating”.
And I began to wonder!
Are we in a culture where we are constantly bombarded with sound, light, information, activity? Does our culture seem to leave us behind while we try to get ahead? Is there so much noise that we crave quiet?
Have we become “noiseated”, queasy and uncomfortable? Is a sabbath the concept that needs recovered? Will we rationalize our sabbaths so that they are just busy days without pay?
I guess I’m writing this as I head into the final hours of my day off! I woke up a bit inclined to go back to work, or to cover some work issues during the day. Rather, I’ve been turning to times of prayer and chatting with people.
Good day – not so “noiseated” today!
