Spiritual Formation

As we entered this year’s Lent season last week, I started to wrestle with and reflect on the second half of Luke 9:58:

“...but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

“The problem is, I can’t tell what’s real anymore, and what’s made up,” explains Peeta in the third book of the popular Hunger Games series. 

On the surface, I go to church because I should, because I said I would, and because I want to model church attendance to my kids. But, if I can step outside my negativity and sense of drudgery about it, I remember that I go because I’m part of a family.

Growing up as a youth group kid, I always craved the “Worship Tinglies.”
