Lots of good wisdom for us to think on this week:
- Dan Franklin writes about what it means to understand people whom we disagree with. So often, our polarized world feeds us the lie that anybody who disagrees with us is simply wrong, immoral, or ignorant.

- “My biggest struggle with daily devotions is not carving out the 20 to 30 minutes needed to read the word and spend time with God. The most difficult part is slowing down my heart and mind enough to get anything from it.” Sound like a familiar challenge?
