Are you devoted to God?
Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. (John 12:3).

What songs feed you?
I sit at my desk contemplating a Bible Study for the council meeting for the congregation I serve, and my daily devotions have me thinking about music.

So how has Lent been for you? Have you deepened your relationship with God? Have you grown in your faith? My Lent has been one of challenges and deep moments with God.
