I stumbled on a short video featuring David Byrne. He’s famous enough that young musicians ask him for advice.

My paraphrase: “Don’t try to be super successful. That will pin you down to one avenue you’ll be stuck in for the rest of your life.”

God is not stuck in one avenue.

If you look at a rocky stream bed, you will see that every single rock is different!

I went on a hike with my son last weekend. We marveled at the springtime beauty since Colorado has received way more rain than normal this spring.

In one little section of the trail, we counted at least five different wildflowers.

“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship” –Psalm 19:1.

So go outside. Enjoy the beauty God created for you.
