Go-to inspiration This article from the June Journal, “ Why seek less than the kingdom of God? ” by Jeramy Alice Shays, has been my “go-to” inspiration for the last two to three weeks, since I discovered it. I have studied it, cherished the ideas in it, and put them into practice in many phases of my life.
