Look up.
I recently watched a movie based in Turkey. The scene I remember the most was the main couple sitting on an old rooftop eating dinner as the sun set over the horizon. And as the sun created a full rainbow of colors across the sky, hundreds of colorful hot air balloons rose from the ground.…

Forget the snapshot
Instead of taking a picture, just enjoy the meal. I see this so often at restaurants today. A couple or group of friends order their food, but before anyone digs in, they all take out their phones and snap away. Then they put down their phones, usually with a rather unsatisfied look and start to…

Because of God
Being ok all the time is a dream that we all have, but it is just that… A dream. It’s ok to not be ok. Why? Because when we are not ok on our own, we have a wonderful God that is there with us and ready to help. Our ok on our own is…
