Choose A New Direction

We embark on a diet and the days of lettuce and low calorie drinks loom  gloomily. We embark on a fitness regime and our subconscious whispers, “Fifteen more minutes under a warm duvet versus a jog round a freezing park … I know what I’d choose!” In today’s gospel, John the Baptist preaches “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” The idea of ‘repentance’ fills us with about as much excitement as a cold shower on a winter’s morning, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Diets, fitness regimes and repentance all have one thing in common …. we emerge as new people as a result of choosing a new direction
