Welcome to Sunday Journal, a chance to start your week out with short, quiet reflections and advice for life.
This effort started with a handwritten journal I keep for each of my children, designed to give them a sense of how to become the best version of themselves. If you find this valuable, please share it with others.
Each edition contains three sections: reflections to put into practice, an inspirational quote, and an image to contemplate.
This week, a look at what or who we should be worshipping.
Reflection
Faith is not a passive thing. It is an act of directed attention — a choice, made consciously or not, about what we deem worthy of our trust, our time, and our admiration. That choice has consequences.
When we invest our faith in things of genuine substance, such as people of demonstrated character, institutions with ethical foundations, ideas that have weathered scrutiny and stand the test of time, we tend to build something durable. When we invest carelessly, drawn by spectacle or by the intoxicating promise of power, we tend to find ourselves holding something that was never as solid as it appeared.
