It's a whole new world. Everything is changing.

Typically when there was a new SUV in the garage, a well-matched 401 K, Big-10 football teams winning the National Championship, and the assurance that a new year would be pretty much like the previous one, people with comfortable lives didn't think too much about spirituality. Sure, they believed God exists, but what's the point?

But maybe this strange time of history is a huge opportunity? Maybe when everything is in flux, we are motivated to consider what really matters? Maybe when all the rules are changing we begin to consider the One who has always been with us? Maybe when we have a hard time making plans for the future, we are finally acknowledging that we really are not in control of our lives? Maybe when everything is changing, we will ask God how He wants to change us?

Maybe?

Love you all! Have a great weekend!
