The winter field looks dead. But under the surface, the seeds are already growing.
Prayer is like that. The silence is not a no. It is something growing where you cannot watch it.

Complex, high-level decisions seem easy to those who carry no responsibility for them.

Dead-looking corn in a Texas field isn't a failed crop.
It's field corn. The farmer wants it dry. What looks like failure from the road is the plan working perfectly.
That's God's timing in a picture.
You're not standing where the Farmer is standing.

Grateful to @BaptistStandard for publishing an article I wrote for pastors. It's about something I've had to wrestle with personally — the slow, quiet erosion of intimacy with God when ministry starts crowding out relationship.

I'll admit it. I have spent way too much time troubleshooting a computer problem, only to have someone ask me, "Did you try rebooting it?" A lot of us treat prayer the same way. It's the last thing we try instead of the first.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
