    In my mind, I am thinking about Lent. The first Sunday of the 40 days leading up to the most important day for human beings. The promised Messiah came and fulfilled the prophecy of death and sin destroyed by this God Man named Jesus. Jesus in His 33 years changed the way to eternal life.…

    Luke 5:27-32 I did not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners. Students we have made it four days! Today reading this verse I always chuckle. We are so like the Pharisees. We want to point out all the dusty old sinners. Or say things like, “Why are you hanging out with those…

I reflected all day today about our forty blog adventure. Ash Wednesday is a time that we give up or offer…
