Practice!
The only way to get really good at something is to practice. Sure, some people are born with natural talent, but that only gets you so far.
It’s not like riding a bike.
Playing a sport or a musical instrument or learning a language requires regular practice. Knowing your way around a kitchen also takes reading and actually cooking various types of recipes. That means setting aside time (which always seems to be in short supply).
Practice means repetition. Doing something over and over may feel boring at times, but the payoff is more than worthwhile.
Having a healthy spiritual life also requires practice. At our Wednesday Evening Services (3/4, 3/11, 3/18, from 7:30 – 8 p.m.) during this Lenten season, Bri and I will be highlighting various spiritual practices that everyone can do. Prayer and worship, study, discussion, giving of ourselves, and social action are just some of the ways that we can practice our faith.
We are doing all of these things at here HCC. As we head to the cross and to Resurrection Morning, we hope you will come and practice with us!
