Walking Blind
If you’ve lived in a house long enough, you become able to walk from one side to the other, navigating around all the furniture in between with your eyes closed as if you were blind.

What’s Your Morning Routine?
“Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.” Hellen Keller What’s the first thing you did this morning?

Excuses vs Reasons
So what’s the difference between a reason to put something off and an excuse? A reason is a factor you can’t control, something that actually affects your decision, something to consider when making a plan.
