The dry lands of Lent (Dr. Holly Ordway)

  The experience of spiritual weariness and weakness is inevitable in the Christian life. It’s not a question of whether we will find ourselves struggling, but when. In the Church wisdom, our annual journey through the dry lands of Lent gives us a chance to face up to that weakness and not to fear it.
