We all like to feel like we have control over our lives. Do we really? Have you felt like you've had control over your life in the last three years of a pandemic, a hurricane, political unrest, and more?

What is it that you're the most worried about today? Is it something you can control, or maybe you at least believe you can control? How does it make you feel when you think about Jesus counseling his disciples not to worry?

We're almost done with our exploration of the five hard truths of life in this Lenten season, and today's blog post explores that truth that "you are not in control."

Remember, though--there's always a caveat to these truths. In fact, they lead us to what Richard Rohr calls the corollary "common wonderful." I hope you'll take a few minutes to read the post and think about what kinds of things are making you feel out of control today.

Make sure you take a look at some of the ways you can serve others this Lent listed below. We, and our ministry partners, could use your support! I look forward to seeing you Sunday for either the 7:45 AM or 10:15 AM service. Keep the faith, St. Paul's!

P.S. - This post also includes a book recommendation that you might find really helpful. I've been giving copies away to people, and everyone who's read it tells me how much of a help its been. First two people to email me with the title and author will get a free copy!
