You know how when you learn a new word, suddenly you notice everyone using it? Or when one of your friends points out a car they want to you, you see it on every street? And if someone tells you about a new book they just read, you’ll almost positively hear someone else talking about that book the next day.

Songs, people, Bible verses: so many things go unnoticed by us all the time, but then when you are introduced to something new, it becomes so ubiquitous you wonder how you never noticed it before.

This week, when you learn a new skill or are introduced to a new author or a song or Bible verse, pay attention. You may start to notice just how ubiquitous some things are.
