The life-changing beauty of waiting
After twenty-two years, Tom Brady hung up his cleats. In New England, we enjoyed twenty spectacular years of Super Bowl trophies piling up in Foxboro and disdainful eyerolls from the rest of the country. Brady’s ability to play professional football at an MVP level into his mid-40’s boggles the mind. If you’ve followed Brady much, you’ve heard about pliability, avocado ice cream, and the TB12 method.

The power of persistence
I recently came across an interesting survey about prayer done during the pandemic. It was conducted by the Cultural Resource Center at Arizona Christian University on behalf of the Presidential Prayer Team. They discovered that 66% American adults pray at least once a week and another 10% reported they pray at least once a month. According to this survey, prayer is the most widely practiced religious activity today. Even with these impressive stats, people still report struggling with their prayer life. In this same survey, only 2% said they were satisfied with their prayer life.
