But the Flesh is Weak

Lent is here again.

You know that saying, "If you take something away, you have to replace it with something,"? My human nature is asserting itself by substituting what I've given up. I'm still finding ways to waste time. I'm still giving in to cravings for things not good for me. Instead of using the time to pray and contemplate.

Part of the purpose of Lent, I think, is to show us how absolutely dependent we are on grace.
