Modern technology gives us easy access to vast amounts of information and resources to organize our days, our travels, our communications. Just think how often you use your smartphone to get quick information. For life’s big questions, for important and difficult decisions, for complicated choices in a confusing and seductive world, who do we go to?
Let’s begin these 40 days of Lent with the Lord Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Let’s learn to trust him and pray that he will mark out the right path before us. Our journey begins in the desert this Sunday as Jesus is led by the Spirit. His heart is set on the mission at hand: to establish the Kingdom of God. Anyone interested in joining him?
