As I pondered life the other day, I was struck by a powerful analogy about staying focused despite surrounding chaos. I recalled my older daughter’s high school theater days, when she constantly participated in productions.

I took a very long hike this morning to try and settle my anxiety and rapid fire thoughts into something that makes sense regarding the school shooting tragedy in Uvalde, Texas. This is typically something that works well. Today, I was unsuccessful. There is no making “sense” of what happened…again.  

As I usually do, I was sitting outside with Jesus this morning looking up into the dark sky where I see a tiny speck of light moving.
