Sometimes the Lenten season is about detours. It is changing our empty routines in order to take in something of God's presence that we may be missing on a regular basis. This is why we are often called to fasting during Lent. The object is not to solely deprive ourselves of food, but rather replace the mindless task of filling our stomachs with a time of spiritual nourishment.
Last week in my message I referenced the beautiful old American Elm which is believed to be the oldest living tree in Frisco. Have you taken a Godly detour to go see it yet? It is located on Maple Street near the intersection of North County Road. Thanks to Dezi Rollins who went to go see it last Sunday afternoon and took this picture:
What detours are you prepared to take in this Lenten season in order to strengthen your relationship with God?
With you on Grace Avenue,
Billy Echols-Richter
