I was inspired by a post on Jefferson Bethke’s blog. It’s something I’ve been thinking a little about and wrote down last night even, but I phrased it differently. He counseled that it was good to make a short seasonal list of things that draw us closer to God and encourage our affections in Him and then the things that detract from our relationship with the Creator and that kill...
