I’ve been challenged to look for more awe in my world.
 
When I think of this word, it’s hard for me to imagine finding it while sitting in my office in central Indiana.
 
However, the practice has led to a surprising revelation.
 
If you slow down long enough, you can find awe almost anywhere.
 
As I write this message, I’m amazed at how much beauty I notice in the light dusting of snow on a tree outside my window.
 
I’ve looked at this tree for more than 6 years and never once seen anything that made me stop and stare.
 
Yet today, after only less than a minute of quiet concentration, I find myself in awe of the seemingly ordinary.
 
A good reminder that how you see is what you see.
