Recently, I was listening to an interview with Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, TX. During the conversation, the interviewer displayed a graphic showing the age groups of Americans who plan to “pray more in 2026.” I was inspired to see the group leading the way was adults ages 30–44. As they discussed the reasons behind this trend, my mind drifted to the numbers for my own age group—those 65 and older. Only 12% of seniors said they plan to pray more.

During the onset of the fall migration of waterfowl, I crane my neck with an ear towards the sky listening for faint cries of geese urging their leaders southward.
