Every year, I go through the Lenten Season thinking that I will do everything I possibly can to be a better person. Year after year.. I feel no change. I am wondering if it doesn’t have to do anything with emotion. I wonder if God is changing me in a way that I don’t even notice.

Ash Wednesday is coming up folks. On February 25th, we go to church to be reminded of where we came from. “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”

I would like to give up smoking for Lent (and hopefully forever)… anyone up for it? I really do hope that God is changing me inside… every year…

There’s a big revamp going on within our company now. We are moving servers, decomissioning old ones that are not used and changing software according to our needs (not wants). I guess the economic meltdown has caused our company to re-think the infrastructure and equipment we use including changing our vpn software. I haven’t had the chance to check out the new vpn yet but with the newly encouraged “work-from-home-to-save-money” plan, I should start playing with the new software. I am certain that all corporations are reviewing their I.T. needs as well since everyone cannot afford to waste money these days.

It was said, “Unless you behave like these children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

I somewhat thought I knew what that meant.  In thinking about it now, I had to wonder what Jesus meant when He said that.  First, I had to think about the traits of children.

• Loving unconditionally
• Forgiving ( a child can be upset at you at one moment and forget about the whole thing the next moment)
• Cheerful and Playful
• Relies on someone bigger than they are to take care of their needs
• Not doubtful

After thinking so, I realized – that’s what Jesus meant. I have to polish up my “child-like” traits. I don’t want to lose my chance of getting into heaven.
