My faith teaches me that the only way to gain understanding is to experience life with a heart full of gratitude to God for my own intellect and free will. This is my capacity to learn how to love and be loved fearlessly, as God does. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We all feel the pressure to multi-task. The smart phone is an integral component of daily life, and we are tethered to networks 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As we are packing more activities and performance expectations into our lives, the primary relationships are the things in life that suffer the most. And in this “always in the network” environment, there is not a sense of peace and security. Being in a state of “always on” is not a recipe for a healthy mental outlook and happy heart. There is very little down time. Worse yet, there is very little room to simply focus on what matters.
