Worship: "Find My...... Squirrel!"

"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." -- James Baldwin

Dug, the lovable talking dog from the movie Up! is routinely distracted by squirrels... mid-sentence, even. Staying focused on what matters -- and facing what needs to be faced -- is hard work these days!  There is no "Find My..." app for meaning.  Or purpose.  Or connection.  Paying attention takes practice.  And sometimes what we're looking for is much closer than we think.
