Wisdom sometimes arrives unbidden from unexpected places. And what seems at first glance to be a piece of broken glass may turn out to be a gem if you just look at it from a different angle. Elizabeth DeCoux offers a sermon about finding the unexpected, even when you don’t realize you’re looking for anything.
