    Jesus has called us to come to Him and to take His yoke because it is light and then says to each one of us to learn from Him. As the God/man he knows how to live life and he wants us to learn from Him. This is an introduction to the spiritual disciplines

    Many ask themselves when problems arise – "WWJD" – or "What would Jesus do?" Yet, sometimes that could be too late to be asking that question.
