Have you ever found yourself navigating through the darkness of your home late at night, trying not to wake anyone? Perhaps you're using the faint glow of your phone screen to guide your steps, wary of potential Lego landmines underfoot. This everyday scenario offers a powerful metaphor for our spiritual journey.

In the turbulent seas of life, we often find ourselves searching for a guiding light. Like ancient sailors looking for a lighthouse to steer them safely through treacherous waters, we too need a beacon of hope in our darkest moments.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you blindly followed someone's advice, only to question it later? This reminds me of a story about a traveler in Belize who, upon catching a conch with a local guide, was told to eat it raw on the spot. Without hesitation, he popped it into his mouth, trusting the guide's expertise. It wasn't until his wife's reaction that he began to second-guess his decision.
