Here We Go Again ...

A winter storm is once again visiting us.  Right now, flurries are falling, but later on the snow will fall heavily.  It all seems so familiar.  But a storm at this time of year is different.  With average temperatures higher than earlier in the year, the snow pack will melt much more quickly.  The storm will hit hard and fast, then be gone.  We should enjoy the snow while it is here.

Lent is a bit like a late season storm.  While it's unfolding, it may seem intense, it may be intense.  But soon, very soon, Easter will be here.  Our time for repentance and reflection will have passed by and we'll move onto other things.  Let's live in the moment.  Let's put aside our jejune thoughts that we've been here before, it's just another Lent.  Instead, let's live into this moment for all it's worth.  Because before we know it, this Lent, precious, unique, blessed, and holy, will be gone.
