I overheard a chiropractor say that sometimes people just need to be reset. After prolonged activity, sometimes their bodies just get all out of joint, and that is why it is good to have regular visits to the chiropractor. Where this would seem like great for business, I also believe the truth behind it. As someone who has suffered from a neck injury, I too see the value in regular visits to the chiropractor. I believe the same thing is true about our faith. Sometimes we just need to reset. This is why I love the season of Lent. This is why I love encouraging recommitting to a particular spiritual discipline. Before Jesus went to the desert, even his Spirit got a boost as he was baptized and the Holy Spirit descended upon him. And just like all of us, he too faced hard times that then caused the Angels to visit and care for him. This week, we are going to prepare for the journey through Lent as we reset our faith.
