Doing Something Different

It's been nine days. Nine long, soda free days. 

Does God care about my Diet Dr Pepper habit? 

Probably not, but He does care about the things that separate us from Him. 

So this Lenten Season, we are doing something different at my house. Together, as a family, we are fasting from something that challenges us. 

Tempts us. 

Separates us. 

Several times a day, we are invited to remember that Jesus sacrificed himself for us. Invited to consider what we are willing to sacrifice for Him.  

That's the way of this disciple life after all. 

Deny myself, take up my cross and follow Him.
