In the Lectionary

February 26, Lent 1A (Matthew 4:1-11)

Many professions require testing—including Son of God.

I’m guessing that the church I serve is not the only communal space that finds certain areas literally stuffed with good intentions. Perhaps some of these sound familiar to you as well:

“We spent money on a vacation Bible school kit; it seems a shame to throw out what’s left.”

“They won’t recycle my glossy magazines, so I put them in the closet for the Sunday school to cut out pictures for collages.”
