Everything is never enough was an absolute banger for me too - appreciate your reflections on it. Also found don’t waist your life by Borgeman a good read
I don't see how any book I read this year is going to end up topping Everything Is Never Enough. I hit 36 in a couple of months and I feel what you wrote very deeply. As someone who entered ministry later after floundering a bit in my early 20s, I can get caught up in trying to get...well...caught up. I have young kids in the home and at times it takes great intentionality for me to slow down and simply enjoy them as my mind gets caught up in goals and tasks. I read Jamieson's book several months ago and remember how much it challenged me to slow down, and your reflections reminded me of that. So thank you. That snow day illustration was the highlight of the book to me.
Wishing you a Happy Birthday! Thanks for introducing me to the author you have quoted. Very thought provoking. Am in my 70's and am still stretched each day in growing in the Lord. Will be re-reading your article for some time I expect.
