We think we alone will use bread to feed others. We think that we alone can rule mercifully and justly. We think that we alone can use miracles to draw more people to Christian faith. But each of these temptations is tied up with the sin of pride.

Fasting is actually not the point of Lent. Fasting can be a useful part of Lent, but it’s not the reason for the season. If there is a reason for the season, you would find it in 2 Corinthians 5:20 – “we entreat you on behalf of Christ: be reconciled to God.”

Jesus calms our fears, but doesn’t just want us to sit on the sidelines and rest on our laurels. Love is a verb. We still need to act in the name of Love. We must continue to proclaim that God’s love extends across all borders and all human-made divisions.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.
