In this fast-paced world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant barrage of distractions, disappointments, and the complexities of life. For many, this can lead to a sense of being spiritually adrift, struggling to maintain faith and focus on what truly matters.

Waiting is always a challenge, sometimes more than others. This morning was one of those more than others times. I was in a surgical waiting room with the mother of a two month old watching the sunrise and the hands of the wall clock move ever so laboriously. We were making waiting type conversation. We had prayed and now we waited. Waited for the surgeon to walk through the doors with good news.
