Whenever you're just working too fast or too much, you're going to miss them. I'm sure there's 444s that you walked by before, like when you're just on a mission, just going. They were there the whole time. But what's going on now is you're more aware of it. And the more aware of it you become, the more you'll see them. And you'll really realize how present God is in your life.

Setting time aside to slow down, to be still and know that God is God, it's a sacred moment. If you think about Sunday, like the Lord says, keep holy the Sabbath. Don't do a bunch of serve all labor. It doesn't mean you can't do work. But it's the first day of the week. It's like a proper orientation to God. If we can set aside work for a moment...

It's not laziness, but it's actually an act of faith. Because what we're doing is saying, God, I can bust my ass, but if I take this hour, this day, this week to be with you, be with my family, to do whatever, I'm recognizing that you're God and I'm not. And so... capable of doing this work, capable of doing this stuff, but you could end my life right now.

I exist because you're holding me in existence. And so whenever we take these little breaks, it's like a profession of faith that God is going to take care of us. And so for me, to bring it back to the last question that you made was like, when I'm out in the woods, out in the mountains, it's just time for me to stop and let the dust settle from the rat race that I'm always running.

And then just get clarity. And for me, it doesn't take long. I mean, it could be an afternoon hunt, like going out to hunt whitetails. It could be a drive in the truck when I have the radio off.

I think what you're saying is clarity. Yeah, mindfulness is all this stuff. It's all over pop culture. It's all over the place because there's something behind it. Definitely the clarity. What were you saying? How does Sade take advantage of this? So, simply put, he'll allow us to fall so deep
