Here are Adam’s 3 Quick Things:
#1 Saying I love you. If there’s a friend or family member (think a dude-friend or bestie, maybe your sister, dad, or roommate) that you love, but you’ve never told them that you love them... tell them! I only wish I would have told my brother Hugh I love him more often.
#2 Hand mirror. I’m smiling as I type this. Yes, I’m recommending a mirror! Don’t judge me. :) This thing is lightweight, cheap ($7), and it’s great for making sure you fully shaved the back of your head! I use mine several times a week. If you have a full head of hair, enjoy looking at your full head of hair! #jealous
#3 Worship. This song from Cory Asbury (& Gable Price) is one of my favorites to walk & worship too. It’s 7 minutes long but worth every second.
