Carl Perkins “… was a popular rockabilly singer from the 1950s and the author of ‘Blue Suede Shoes’, which was one of Elvis Presley’s first big hits.  As a guitarist, Perkins influenced … Rock ‘n’ Rollers, especially George Harrison of the Beatles.

 

Perkins never quite attained the fame of his more notorious colleagues.  He once explained it like this: ‘I never envied …. All those boys - Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison – they all lost their wives, their families.  People ask me what happened to you, Carl?  All of them went to superstardom.  Where’d you go? 

‘I went home.  And that’s a good place to be.’”  [Once Upon A Gospel, Bill Bausch, p. 171]

 

“I went home”, that is what we are called to do during Lent, Go Home.  Take some time today to reflect on your life, how you live it, what you treasure, what you devote your energy too. 

 

Jesus is our home, where is He in your priorities.  Look at the obstacles, the sins, the roadblocks keeping you from Jesus being your #1 priority and remove them one by one until He is first in everything you say and do.
