It is the third week of Lent already. Before we notice, this graced season will once again be behind us. We must, therefore, be intentional in making the most of this season. This Lent, make a commitment to run toward the cross rather than away from it. What crosses is the Lord asking you to carry this Lent and how are you carrying them?

My faith journey has taken many turns over the years. Through my wife, Barb’s, encouragement to join faith-based activities—couples’ groups, men’s groups, and more—I gradually became more comfortable developing a relationship with Jesus. In 2013, at age 51, God surprised me. During a long drive to help my daughter after surgery, two songs kept speaking to me and stirred a deep sense that God was calling me to something more. When I returned home, Barb and I talked and prayed about this new possibility. Without her unwavering support and encouragement, I’m not sure I would have persevered. Throughout this journey, Jesus and Barb were my constant companions, and each year strengthened my desire to serve Christ and the Church.
