A way to live is posted weekly; the rest bi-weekly.
A way to live:
Frustrated? You live each day as responsibly as you can and things are not going well for you. Tempted to give up and put yourself first in all things? Don’t. Being first will not be as rewarding as you had hoped. Keep to responsible living and the results will have lasting value.
[A way to live John 3:14-21 from the Revised Common Lectionary for 3/15/15; The Fourth Sunday in Lent; live God’s ways of caring and fairness, not some of the other ways that are tempting but finally empty.]
