Well, I have rather failed in my spiritual discipline of blogging The Cross Centered Life this Lent. I’m about half way through reading though and am going to go and snuggle in front of the fire and finish it just now.
Despite not blogging, I have been chewing over what I’ve learnt from the book. I think I’ve been encouraged to direct my thoughts to the cross more – to the suffering of Jesus and the sovereignty of God. This has really helped me as I’ve thought about people I love who are in difficult situations. I always feel that I should be able to do something, but I know I need to trust more in God’s power and control.
If you are wanting to think more about C J Mahaney’s book, the Vicar has put all his course materials up on his blog.
Happy Easter to all my readers. I’m praying that I will be more cross centred in my life this coming year. And you too.

I haven’t finished it either! Will try and finish it before Sunday…Remembering what Jesus accomplished for us through the cross is the good news I want to focus on and not all the bad news that you hear on TV with every news headline. It’s important to be aware of what is happening but like the vicars wife said, the most important this is to take it to the cross as it is only there that life makes any sense.
