“Fix It!” - Oscar Rogers, Financial Adviser
Okay, so Oscar Rogers is not a real person. He was a character on Saturday Night Live several years ago that came on the ‘Weekend Update’ segment. With the country in a financial crisis, the character played by Kenan Thompson just yelled, “Fix It!” over and over again. Check it out online if you have the time.
What I am finding in my own life and in the life of many people I know is that we want to do the same. We want to ‘fix it!’. We busy ourselves, moving from one thing, to the next, to the next, all in an effort to ‘fix it!’. All the while, more problems and issues keep coming up.
I believe that Lent offers us a respite from the rush to try and fix all that is wrong with the world. By spending some time to think about our lives in light of Christ’s sacrifice, we find that in Jesus Christ, God did what we so desperately try to do as humanity. God ‘fixed it!’ by conquering death once and for all. And in the Resurrection we find our hope.
When we realize, like someone I know often says, ‘the worst word is never the last word’, we are given the strength to carry on. Sure our issues still exist, but when the light of Christ shines upon them they begin to lose the strangle hold they have on our lives. We begin to breath a little easier and the next step becomes more manageable. May we walk together in the light of Jesus Christ this day, in the days ahead, and into a future that is filled with hope.
Blessings on your journey, wherever that may be this day!
Peace,
