Sunday Inspiration: Appreciation
I believe that appreciation is a holy thing—that when we look for what’s best in a person we happen to be with at the moment, we’re doing what God does all the time. So in loving and appreciating our neighbor, we’re participating in something sacred.
—Fred Rogers

Sunday Inspiration: Learning and Studying
Perhaps the greatest of all pedagogical fallacies is the notion that a person learns only the particular thing he is studying at the time.

Sunday Inspiration: Sitting
Sitting is a gift. It’s a gift that brings clarity about the bigger picture of life and peace in your bones.
—Elizabeth Hagan
Sunday Inspiration: Doubt and Belief
