just 2 ways...

"Today I put before you two ways, the way of life or the way of death, so choose life that it may go well with you in the land the Lord has prepared for you..."

Did you know that? Did you know that ultimately there are only 2 ways, with God or without God? Sometimes we like to think we can stay on the fence, a little here and a little there. The reality is, there is no fence. (Did you just go back to the matrix: "There is no spoon..."? I did!) It's true. There is no fence. That's the whole point of purification. In the end, it's all or nothing. If you don't want Lent now, you'll get purgatory later. I don't know much about purgatory but when the saints talk about it sounds ridiculously awful. Why would anyone do that when they could just take care of things here and now, are you following me? I don't know what it is for you, but I bet you know.

So what is it? How is Christ asking you to follow him? After all, he is the way, the truth, and the life. I know. You're thinking, "no, not that!" Why not? What would happen if you did? Now you're smiling, right? So why not give yourself that smile by just going for it? Again, what would happen if you did? How good would that feel? Who else would benefit? And what new possibilities would that open up for you? Yeah... if you want, just go for it. That's what Lent is all about, right?

God bless,
Live from your heart... always!,
