    Margin

    This is not your usual interview or article so listen-up. A huge thanks to Greg Barber for cooking-up our “Summer Sizzlers” Season. The articles and reflections of the last few weeks had a thread of “community” running through them and were great reminders of why we are not meant to do this journey alone. This week I want to thank Luke Franks for highlighting a book extract: “I think of rest as the margins around the page of a book I’m reading. The words matter, but without the margins they would run into one another and be senseless. When I rest, I create order and context around everything I do.I don’t rest as a reward or to gain something, but to return to the original expression of human design. I am a being not a doing. I am not a tool in the belt of a workman but a picture in the wallet of my father. God doesn’t get me out to use me, but to enjoy me. Rhythms of rest , especially in a time of work and creative output, return me to those truths.” From Joshua Luke Smith’s book: “Something you once knew: Waking up to the extraordinary in your ordinary life” Please complete the survey here: https://thec3church.typeform.com/ascendpodcast A Time for Everything - Ecclesiastes Chapter 3: 1 There is a time for everything,    and a season for every activity under the heavens:2 a time to be born and a time to die,    a time to plant and a time to uproot,3 a time to kill and a time to heal,    a time to tear down and a time to build,4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,    a time to mourn and a time to dance,5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,6 a time to search and a time to give up,    a time to keep and a time to throw away,7 a time to tear and a time to mend,    a time to be silent and a time to speak,8 a time to love and a time to hate,    a time for war and a time for peace.FOR UPCOMING ASCEND EVENTS sign up here.
