A journal for spiritual and not-so-spiritual thoughts, by Rev. Elizabeth Jones.
Lent, Day 13: Try
Day 13: Try
I remember Yoda (of “Star Wars” fame), when he told Luke: “Do, or do not. There is no try!”
Yoda’s words are disheartening to me. I honestly believe that by trying, by striving, I am doing the next right thing. Plus, I think God is pleased when I try, wholeheartedly. Thank God!
