Looking for Love – During the Season of Lent

The Christian scriptures offer many images of where love, grace, forgiveness, righteousness, and healing can REALLY be found. And it is not in the “usual” places. Isn’t it as true of us today as it was of the scriptural authors? Don’t we often look for wholeness and happiness in places that offer only temporary “good feelings” and satisfaction? How many people loved my post? What’s Amazon’s deal of the day? Did my work impress my colleagues? Do I really have enough to make me feel secure for the future?

Lent, the six weeks leading up to Easter, is a wonderfully reflective time to reassess where we are searching for meaning and purpose. We’ll move through stories of Jesus to find out who offers the “real deal.”
