: Life is hard. God is good. We need each other.
What matters? I mean…what really matters? Sometimes it can be hard to tell, and other times we may think we are on the right track and not even realize that we’re actually adrift. This week I’m taking time to think about my priorities, asking God to point me in the right direction, and seeking to invest myself in what truly matters.
Here’s what I’ve been reading:
Thinking. We all do it. Some more than others. This week I’ve got a collection of articles that all relate to ‘thinking’ in some way. A computer that can read your thoughts? Changing the way you think about things, critical thinking and more.

Enjoy!

Community. We all like the idea of community, but the reality of sharing our lives with other flawed humans often doesn’t play out the way we imagine.
