Genesis 17: 1 -7, 15-16        Take Up Your Cross                      March 8,2009 
Romans 4: 13 -25: Mark 8: 31 -38

Our lenten texts call us to the discipline of renouncement.  They speak to the Buddhist idea of detachment. They speak to the spirituality of freedom- a new understanding of sacrifice, where the cross is not blood sacrifice.

So I put this under health and aging because I don't really think it fits under anywhere else...

Anywho! here goes.
