Lent is upon us and what a world of difference it makes when I choose to view Lent as an opportunity as opposed to an obligation. I’ve always felt this pressure to “give something up” for Lent; chocolate, sweets, or some other “thing” from a long list of possibilities.

A Prayer and A Leap…Right Out of My Comfort Zone

Jesus loves the little children All the children of the world Red and yellow, black and white They areContinue reading “It’s Not About Me”
I can’t see the whole staircase…
