In my wildest dreams I never imagined I’d be delivering food to my brothers and sisters in Christ who were hiding from government authorities, at least not here in the USA.

Over the last week I’ve watched more of Charlie Kirk’s videos than I have since I first started following his career about eight years ago and it prompted me to think about the difference between debate and learning.

I think this is a good opportunity to pause and take a moment to ask what a godly person would look like.

Efficiency can be the millions of years it takes for the elements to shape the shoreline into a place of beauty; sitting in silence with a friend who simply needs someone to be present; laughing with a friend over a something silly that happened over the course of a day; the hours spent daydreaming that finally provide the inspiration for your next creative project; sitting quietly listening to the wind and waves allowing them to bring you peace. Who’s to say these aren’t efficient, effective, productive, and valuable moments?
