Live Lightly: First Sunday of Lent

First Sunday of Lent: lightening our load...tossing out our heavy burdens...fears, anxieties, concerns and losses.

"Live more lightly" is the theme of Lent with the message, "Traveling Light: Trusting God in the Wilderness." Unburden yourself of wanting to be in control. Unburden yourself of needing validation and approval from others. Unburden yourself of certainty of the future. Jesus trusted God to provide for him in the wilderness. Jesus has faith.  What rocks are you carrying around in your bag of burden that you can let go? During this season of Lent, I hope we "learn in a deeper way to let go and let God in."

Rev. John has faith in God that during this Lent season, he will unload his bag of burdens and "live lightly."
