With the murder of the conservative political activist Charlie Kirk earlier this week my social media feed has been full of comments about what a godly man he was and what an ungodly man he was. I think this is a good opportunity to pause and take a moment to ask what a godly person would look like.

Efficiency can be the millions of years it takes for the elements to shape the shoreline into a place of beauty; sitting in silence with a friend who simply needs someone to be present; laughing with a friend over a something silly that happened over the course of a day; the hours spent daydreaming that finally provide the inspiration for your next creative project; sitting quietly listening to the wind and waves allowing them to bring you peace. Who’s to say these aren’t efficient, effective, productive, and valuable moments?
