Walking Is Underrated

I think one of the greatest things about getting older is learning to appreciate simple things. And one of those simple things is walking.

Walking clears the mind. It strengthens the body. It creates space for prayer. It slows us down enough to notice things. Some of my best ideas have come while walking. And some of the sweetest conversations with my wife have taken place while simply putting one foot in front of the other.

Jesus walked thousands of miles during His earthly ministry. Perhaps those miles weren’t interruptions. Perhaps they were part of the mission.
