We are starting our Lenten journey up to Skull peak at Calvary. The road starts with danger. Jesus's journey after his baptism led immediately to temptation in the wilderness. When we start this journey, we too will be tempted. The fear of snakes threatens to dissuade us from continuing upward and miss the Sunrise vista. Satan tries to twist God's word and get us off of the correct path. He looks for weaknesses, cracks, and footholds to take advantage of us. Like a lion, he is an opportunist. But God has given us his truth and power by which we can overcome the serpent and get through the pass.
