Lent begins again. With Lent, I feel compelled to once again take a spiritual journey with words and blog.
 
So, if you followed me on the last 40 day fast in the fall…I’m Backkkk! And I’m warning you ahead of time that this ride may feel different. This isn’t Disneyland. This is Life.
 
[Prayer]
Lord, help me to listen with everything I’ve got—not just to hear you, but to hear others. Because when I hear others and what they’re really saying beyond the fragile, futile words, I validate them. They become real and not just passersby or extras in the film of life.
 
Give me ears that can bear to hear what they are truly saying. When I listen that way, I begin to hear what you hear. That’s a lot of noise.
 
When my ears are opened, however, maybe my eyes will be opened, too.
