Lent 2008 - 1st. Tuesday


"Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare your praise."

We are learning the intimate connection
between the "discipline" we choose these days,
and the growth of our desire.

If our desire for our Lord is weak,
if it has to compete with so many other desires that choke it out,
then we need to re-form our desiring.

We want to be disciples -
those who love Jesus, are with Jesus in our desires,
and choose to follow Jesus.

In today's lesson we learn the Lord's Prayer again.

As children, we turn to our Loving Father in prayer.
