God This morning as I began my prayer, I thought about what I should pray for and how little time I actually spend talking with my heavenly Father. I know that there are those out there who rise early and spend much time, perhaps even hours in prayer. Comparing myself to them, it feels like... Continue Reading →
Alignment
I was on the road the other day. My destination was quite a few hours away, so I had plenty of time to think and meditate. The road was open with mostly just the dotted line to keep me company. The little car I rented was similar in color to the apple I ate while... Continue Reading →
