Daily writing prompt
List the people you admire and look to for advice…
I don’t have a massive list of people I turn to for advice. It depends on the situation.
For work, refereeing or bourbon-related questions, there are different people I trust.
But on the big issues of life, the list is much shorter:
Scott.
Daryl.
Brook, my pastor.
And the Lord, through prayer and reading the Bible.
That’s pretty much it.
I don’t need a lot of voices.
I need wise ones.
