Sermon: How Do We Spend Our Lives?

Rev. Shayna Appel

May 15th: How Do We Spend Our Lives?

“People seemed so burdened with cares and labors that they cannot enjoy the finer fruit of life.  Lacking leisure, they have no time to be anything but machine.  Worst of all, they are driving themselves, as if they had no other choice.  Unfortunately, what we think of ourselves defines our fate.  Resigned to their apparent lot in life, the mass of people lead lives of quiet desperation.”  (From “Thoreau As Spiritual Guide.”  Barry M. Andrews)
