The world is a busy, hectic place and the need to slow…
““The world is a busy, hectic place and the need to slow down and focus on one thing and one thing only has never been greater. In a typical day, our phones don’t stop ringing, our texts don’t stop coming, and our meetings don’t stop running into each other. Even when we go home at the end of the day, the multiple hats don’t usually come off. The truth is we’ve lost the art of disconnecting from everything to be able to reconnect to one thing. Sometimes we need God to interrupt our incessantly busy lives to get us to focus on just one thing. Maybe that one thing is Him. Maybe that one thing is you. Maybe that one thing is your family. Maybe that one thing is the future. Whatever that one thing is, let it bring you back to a place where you can appreciate the process more than the product.””
