“There was a young book salesman who was assigned to a rural area. Seeing a farmer seated in a rocking chair on his front porch, the young man approached him with all the zeal of a newly trained salesman. ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘I have here a book that will tell you how to farm ten times better than you are doing now.’ The farmer continued to rock. After a few moments he stopped, looked at the young man, and said, ‘Son, I don’t need your book. I already know how to farm ten times better than I am doing now.’”
During this time of Lent, we are given many opportunities to put what we know into practice. We know we are called to be self-sacrificing, loving, charitable, just, prayerful people, followers of Jesus, committed to integrity and compassion. Let us DO what we KNOW and LIVE what we BELIEVE.
