Lent 2: Leaping Off the Page

”Leaping Off the Page.”  God, the Author of the grand story, invites us to drink in the words of covenant, the good news that we are part of an abundant narrative.  As we do, we become living words that leap off the page into all aspects of relations: with God, each other, and the earth.
