We have come to another Season of Lent, that special time of the year when we are
encouraged to take a critical second look at our lives to be sure we are going in the
right direction, and that the life we are living is the life we should be living as
children of God. Experience teaches that we cannot take this second look at our
lives if we are always so busy that we have no time to listen to God, no time to pray.
It is indeed necessary that we spend with God daily if we are not to waste the
opportunity this Season provides us to position ourselves well before our God. We
do not want to end up like those proverbial people who invested all their time,
talents and resources climbing the ladder of success only to realize when they
reached the top that the ladder was leaning against the wrong wall. Do we?
I wish all of us a successful journey through this great Season of grace.
