• The Fleeting Gift [Britt’s Thoughts]

  

  The other day while mindlessly watching TV, I happened to hear something said that quickly grabbed my attention… It was nothing extremely profound, yet it struck me as so. “Inspiration is fleeting” Yes, that is what I heard. Now let those words sink for a moment into your own mind. What do you feel? Any…
