back to the basics

Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent -- reminding us that we are only dust and we will return to dust.  It calls us back to God, back to the basics, back to the spiritual REALITIES of life.  And with that -- back to the JOY and PEACE that comes from living our new life born out of death.

“We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life - those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.” Oswald Chambers
