09/16/09: The Discipline of Simplicity

Today's chapel was centered around the spiritual discipline of simplicity. As Mr. Kabakjian opened in prayer, he reminded us of our "constant bombardment with activities, things, and people." Maddie Ruth '10 also asked us if we add unneeded things to our lives. Mr. Yoder and Senor Franks also shared their own experiences with simplicity. Our lives are often filled with wonderful things, but they can be overwhelming and distracting from what matters most. We need a fresh perspective.

"Simple living is joyful, enriching, and creative, but is not simple at all."
