Priceless...the BMW Pricetag!

The great Western disease is, 'I'll be happy when... When I get the money. When I get a BMW. When I get this job.' Well, the reality is, you never get to when. The only way to find happiness is to understand that happiness is not out there. It's in here. And happiness is not next week. It's now.

Marshall Goldsmith

The Lenten journey is often misunderstood as a denial of the wealth of the world.  It is not.  Rather, the Lenten journey recognizes where true wealth lies and then sells everything to go after it.  It is never an arriving--it is only a growing in Christ. 
  

This life therefore is not righteousness 

but growth in righteousness.not health but healing 

not being but becoming not rest but exercise. 

We are not yet what we shall be but we are growing toward it. The process is not yet finished but is it going on. This is not the end but it is the road. All does not gleam in glory. but all is being purified.  Martin Luther
