Beloved, “Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them.” It is from Matthew 6, which we read annually on Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.

It’s remaining quiet when we want to speak. It’s trusting God’s timing when we would rather control. It’s doing it God’s way when it doesn’t make […]
