We make choices and perform actions which affect us both now and in the future. What we do gives things and people power over us. Consider the pilgrims of our country. Before they had their own government, England had power over them; to make laws and enforce laws but without representation where the laws were being made. They chose to take that power away from England, to reject taxation without representation, and to form a new nation. And so we see, that with our actions we have the ability to take power away from one thing and give it to something which represents us better. Lent is the time to take power back from the world, from its control over us, and give that power back to God.
