I spent this past week in Chicago with my husband. While he attended a business conference, I read books in our hotel room and made decent use of the hotel gym. But my favorite part was in the early mornings. From our room’s window on the 18th floor, we’d watch the sun rise over Lake Michigan each day.

Where water meets sky and darkness meets light, there’s something other-worldly in those quiet moments between day and night. It’s a reminder to me that we are not made for this world. We are merely passing through. But while we are here, it is good to live in such a way that we are not automatically mirroring the world around us.

Rather, we are to walk in a different kind of light — we are to walk in the Light.

Amongst all the reading I’ve been doing in hotel rooms and otherwise, I’ve come across some good articles I’d like to share with you. Really, they culminate in five simple ways we can lead a quiet life today.
