If you're a longtime listener, you may know that Clark absolutely hates traffic and lengthy commuting. He's made the choice to live about 10 minutes away from where he works just to avoid it. But most average Americans live along a freeway at an exit where they can have the house and lifestyle they want, which usually means living in the suburbs. Yet commuting from a suburb to a city can be grueling. In fact, there's now a backlash against the suburban lifestyle. Call it the Death by Suburb phenomenon -- that's the title of a book and accompanying program that's been making its way around suburban churches. Clark believes the real angst of life in the 'burbs comes not from the distant location, but from the fact that many parents pack their kids' schedules too full. A little downtime for children is healthy, according to Clark; there's nothing wrong with unstructured free playtime. Kids are having the spontaneity drained from their lives with busy schedules that can include tae-kwan-do, sports, ballet, gymnastics and more. Stop and think about the treadmill you're putting your kids and yourself on when you have to run them around endlessly everywhere. Just some food for thought!
