Question: PLAY FOR AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR TODAY. HOW DOES IT FEEL?
Transcript of Video:
All of creation, all of us play; all animals play, and we play. One of the things that I find is interesting about humans is that our brains continue to develop our whole lifespan, and so we have the capacity to play our whole lives. But like other things, we have to choose. And so we have to choose to play and when we do, that further develops our brain. Father Benson, our founder, said that God’s call is progressive. So I think that it’s appropriate to say that play is perpetual and it’s something that we choose. And as we choose to play, we continue to literally create our brains. And we also continue to grow spiritually, to become more fully the people God made us to be and those are people who – there is always something more. God is more and calls us into things further.
