Today is Holy Thursday, also known as Maundy Thursday. "Maundy" comes from the Latin word "mandatum" which means 'commandment."

However, one of my Bible study leaders in college gave us an important phrase that sums up how to live out this commandment. It has stuck with me through the varying seasons of my life: 'Plan your Sunday around God, not God around your Sunday.'"

Growing up in a family of five children meant that our weekends were always busy, and the older everyone became, the busier we all were.
