Mid-way Through Lent

     Today the baseball season starts.  Japan is trying to put itself back together again.  It snowed last night in Maryland.  Spring is in full swing in Monterey.  A siren blares in the distance.  Life goes on far and near.  In the midst of its details and busy-ness, it might be easy to forget the daily walk with God.  For some in our world, they never think about it, though they may call themselves Christian.  To say so is not intended as a judgement about them, but a concern.  How much richer life is when life is in tune with God.  How much more joyful when welcoming Jesus as a daily companion.  In this time of Lent, pray for those who do not know God in all the joy and love and depth they could. Pray for ourselves as well, to know it ever more fully.  What a gift we have received!  How much more God will give when we open ourselves to it,
