"I wonder - how many situations that we would call disappointments, hassles, and setbacks might actually be the loving hand of God trying to slow us down for the sake of our souls, and so that we might receive him?" - John Eldredge, Get Your Life Back, Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad.

Most of life is spent in the gaps - or the transitions. Our world is currently in a massive transition between pre and post COVID-19. But we also experience all sorts of gaps personally throughout our time on earth.  What do we do with these gaps - this time between where we are and where we\'re trying to arrive? Are we wasting away precious time on trivial things? Even the small gaps like waiting in line or sitting in traffic. Are we so enslaved to technology that we\'ve lost intimacy with God? "My sheep know my voice..." Jesus said. When was the last time you heard his voice?
