A Lesson in Margin from a high school classmate, Pastor Matt Keller:

The way to have peace is through Margin. Put another way, Peace lives in the Margins of our lives. Show me someone with no peace, & I'll show you someone with no margin. No peace in your finances? I bet you don't have margin. [emphasis mine] No peace in your calendar? I bet you don't have margin. No peace in your personal life? I bet you don't have margin.

Margin is the distance between where you live and your limits. Foolish is the person who resides on the side of a cliff. We wouldn't think to build a home within 6 inches of a cliff, but we do it all the time in other areas of our lives.

Amen, Pastor Matt, and thank you!
