Have you ever taken a big trip? Do you remember your first time leaving the state, leaving the country, or maybe on a cruise or your first hiking trip?

We had forgotten something. Has that ever happened to you? Where you have to go all the way back and start all over again?
We are now one week into our Lenten journey. One great thing about the Lent is that, unlike a physical journey, you can start right where you are, right when you are. You don’t have to go back to the start. You don’t have to start on Ash Wednesday. You can start right now. You can grab your Bible and your Lenten Guide (click here to view/download a PDF version) and start reading right now. You can begin to pray for your family, friends, neighbors, and enemies.
