INTRODUCTIONContentment—we know what it feels like—the joy and nostalgia that fills our bodies as a familiar smell wafts over us or the deep feeling of joy and belonging when we are with people who profoundly love and understand who we really are. Yet, it can come and go out of our lives as quickly as the weather, feeling hard to predict, pin down, or cultivate...My goal is that [you] may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that [you] may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that [you] may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:2-3The Journey Ahead:WEEK 1.   THE ANCIENT PATHWEEK 2   PRAY WITH JOYWEEK 3    PROCLAIM THE GOSPELWEEK 4    BECOME PUREWEEK 5    PARTICIPATE  WITH CHRISTWEEK 6      PRESSING ON TOWARD THE GOALWEEK 7      PEACE THAT TRANSCENDS UNDERSTANDINGWEEK 8      PONDER SUCH THINGSHEART TUNEMy heart is prone to clamber and clangDiscordant, discontent, empty of praiseThen your wind blows over, stirring new songBut from disuse, strums a dissonant throngAll Love becomes lost in my tone-deaf prideMy ego booms large, and my chest puffs wideThen bitterness whines sharp, like an untuned hornHurt clatters and clanks, like cymbals of scornLord come!
