The Art of Waiting

You can watch the sermon here.

How we chose to wait may define how we live our lives. Though our world encourages us to believe we never have to wait, waiting is perhaps the one activity that allows us to claim our humanity. In those moments when something demands we stop, are we given the chance to be our best selves?
