The day started with a little glimmer of sunshine over the horizion. Finally! The days are getting longer and I can see spring just around the corner. It has been just over a week since Lent started. I have learned 3 lessons: 1-I think about chocolate way to much!, 2-I often seek man's praise more than the praise of God, 3-When I make Jesus "little," or more like me, it is only to justify my actions, motives, and thoughts. So, these 3 idols (chocolate, praise of man, and self) need to be cast down and burned. It will be tough to throw them into the fire. I wonder if I could just melt the chocolate and dip a few strawberries in it:)?
