a taking away,
of the clutter, the world
anything in the way
between us and God
on our Lenten journey.
a giving back,
a taking away,
our time, our attention
setting God as a priority
in the Lenten journey.
a taking away,
an adding on,
adding the discipline
of spending time
in Your word
a drawing closer,
in this time of journey,
turning with Christ
to Jerusalem,
to our Cross.
