In John 12, Mary fills the entire house with a sweet smelling fragrance. Meanwhile, Judas exudes a different aroma—a foul smell stinking up the dinner party. Let's begin the season of Lent by pondering the aroma our lives are giving off, and where to apply spiritual deodorant if necessary.

Our friends Sarah and Doug are back for another "Deep Dive" episode discussing my recent piece on Dylan's Blowin' in the Wind. I think you'll enjoy their insights and analysis.

Its refrain suggests that answers are elusive—perhaps nearby or forever outside our grasp. I have begun to sing this song in a more redemptive key lately. Did Jesus reveal to us the answer that Dylan said was blowing in the wind?
