Have you ever noticed how you try to balance the concerns in your life? It seems that I place the responsibilities of ministry on one side of a fulcrum, like a ruler, and the rest of my life on the other, attempting to form a balance or achieve harmony. Surprisingly, there are some times when I am successful, but, as you know, life is not static or stationary. It is dynamic, filled with changes, surprises and chaos. The result is that the ruler cannot stay balanced.
What do you do when life is out of balance? Lent is a time to ask yourself how are you still in order to know God. It is a journey to give something of yourself away in order to find a lesson or a blessing from God. It is a time to let the peace of God bring some sense of balance and harmony even if the challenges you face seem insurmountable.
