Tuesday’s Temptation: Seeing what you want to see

Again, I'm going to share my daily journal practice. It is biblical in nature but often the questions are generalizable. I have been reading and contemplating scripture through the lens of leadership. I have moved into Song of Songs, often described as a love poem from Solomon to one of his wives.
