Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Philippians 4:8
Do you ever feel as though negative thoughts or emotions are getting more and more airplay on the channel of your life? Today marks the start of the Lenten season and we've decided to switch the station and tune into something different for the next 40 days. There are so many people who have prayed and made decisions on foods to sacrifice and places to become more disciplined in their lives. For us, we're calling a fast to those "furious" side of life--NEGATIVITY.
Beginning today, we'll spend some time exploring various negative emotions in an effort to conquer the hold they sometimes have on our lives. It is our prayer that, come Easter, we will be celebrating together our Risen Savior with genuine joy and purity of heart. Join in as you see fit and make a conscious decision to pray and fast around those negative places that have set up residence in your heart. Ready? Let's do it...
