All is lost... or is it? (Robert Redford)

   In the 2013 film All Is Lost, starring Robert Redford, the main character enters an atypical desert -- the chaos of the open ocean -- and must struggle to survive against all odds.  John Bonazzo, of Busted Halo, has likened this unnamed character's saga to that of Jesus in the desert:  constantly tested, he is tempted to give up many times, yet he endures to the final shot, which is perhaps symbolic of our redemption.

   What chaos might you be struggling with as you progress through Lent?  Are you tempted to give up the fight?  Or will you hold out for the ultimate redemption:  the Cross of Good Friday, and the Resurrection of Easter?
