Welcome to Lent?!
Feels like we have been living through a prolonged season of Lent. This morning I read Tish Harrison Warren's article titled, "Giving Up and Taking Up: What we do (and don’t do) when we keep Lent". It's a good refresher of what Lent is and is not. While I appreciate and remember experiencing many of the Lenten practices she writes about, I believe we are being called to partake in a new practice of Lent.
This season I am taking time to be intentional with my relationships: God, Christ, Holy Spirit, my family and my friends. Each day I will begin in reading and reflecting. Sometime throughout the day I intend to reach out to a relationship from my past, a new relationship forming, or a connection I've yet to establish. So watch out! You may receive an email from me sharing a thought, concern, or just an expression of hope and gratitude.
This is a time for something new.
