They're advertising a chocolate egg by showing a live rabbit 'hatch' a batch of gaily decorated Easter Eggs. It seems ridiculous, not to mention far-fetched, to think of a rabbit that can lay eggs. And yet, this somehow captures the essence of our confusion over this wonderful, mysterious, growth -producing time we call "Easter". A rabbit laying eggs seems not unlike a dead man who lives! But before we can really experience what Easter is all about, it seems we must also journey through what Christians call "Lent". This is the struggle and challenge part, without which we could never know the peace of triumph. Many families start their spiritual journeys by celebrating 'Pancake Tuesday'. It's an old custom that began with a feast of delicacies, con- sumed in large quantities, all in anticipation of 40 days of 'fasting'. My own family has a tradition of coming together on Shrove Tues- day and mixing up a large batch of 'basic mix'. Then as the individual pancakes are being cooked, each child selects an ingredient to be added. The variety ranges from fruits and nuts, to chocolate chips and Smarties! All in good fun. Somehow the feasting and sharing in special beats is all done with the knowledge that 'all good things come to an end.' It is the 40 days of Lent that we find ourselves struggling with iVhat can only be called our 'wilderness experiences.' Life is made up of both triumphs and losses, celebrations and sor- rows. We really cannot anticipate sharing in good times without ever having to live through the bad times. For forty days (plus Sundays) Christians make their annual pilgrim- age to the cross and then the empty tomb. Lent is a period designed to sharpen one's spiritual sensitivities and lead people into a deeper relationship with their God. Let's look at this word - Lent. L - Let down your guard. We often wear many faces in an effort to shield and protect ourselves from hurt. Psychologist Sydney Si- mon, speaking on the healing power of forgiveness, tells us we try to hide our hurts and disappointments or we pretend that these things don't really matter. All is well! og, effered fully and; abundantly to each of us, is fu 3trOIVYS;11%000 Op our .t pe )'eeliog& k(lib9 honest,atpout,our- selves. urneytng in faith through Lent suggests that we allow our- selves to be vulnerable and be willing to risk. E - Embrace change. Part of living in faith is being open to doing things in a different way. I know a man, in his late eighties whose enthusiasm is contagious. He wholeheartedly embraces all of the latest technological changes our world offers. Stereos are fine but CD's are 'state-of-the-art'! 'Computer Talk' is language he's only too eager to learn. Our world is filled with marvelous new creations each day. Our faith asks from us the willingness to take a fresh or unusual method of opeMing. Embrace the changes of your world with eagemess. N - Nurture your dreams. Every successful business person has a 'tail -of -woes' to share. Success seems to be the story of how one overcame adversity. No matter what we set out to do in life, all of us will ,•gurney through what can only be called 'the wilderness'. When you are in the midst of disappointment or crisis, use your faith to nurture the dreams you have yet to achieve. T - Team up with others. Our world seems at the peak of what might be described as selfish independence. We have so glorified our individuality it seems we have lost sight of our need for one another. Somehow, our faith challenges us to come together as the People of God. It is by integrating all of our efforts into a thrust filled with God's power we become an active force for change in our world.
