The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction

by Justin Whitmel Earley

May our prayers be good work, and may our work become good prayers. May our tables be full, and may they draw our neighbors in. May we embrace good limits with technology and discover the beauty of being present with each other. May we frame our days in the love letter of the Scriptures.

May our friendships be a fire around which all the lonely can gather. May we choose stories that form us into people who seek beauty, who love justice, and who find each other. May we discover in fasting that our emptiness is where we find your fullness. May we sabbath in the soul rest of knowing that, in Jesus, “It is finished.”
