Lent 2010.
But as for me, it is good to be near God. Ps 73:28a
The image used during our church-wide focus during Lent is a simple metaphor for our spiritual lives. As we journey through this world and all its stresses, difficulties, temptations, sorrow, pains as well as joys and good times, all the pieces of our life swirl around us, out of control and increasingly quite messy.
When we engage in the gift of the spiritual rhythms in our lives, we place ourselves in a spot where God transforms us and our world, weaving together all the pieces into a beautiful tapestry where Christ is formed in us. Order out of chaos. Beauty from ugliness. Nearness for what once was distant.
