Lent This Year is Going to Be Different!

Ashes provided by Presbyterian Welcome in Union Square

With the ashes only recently rubbed (accidentally) away from my forehead, I decided to dive into a spiritual discipline this year for the season of Lent.  I had never received ashes on Ash Wednesday before and I had also never decided to use Lent to strengthen my inner faith.  Coming to the conclusion that my spiritual writing could use some practice and my spirit desperately needs to be steeped daily in the word, I decided on signing up for a bible reading plan and putting down a few words each day in response.

Sundays, being described as a "mini Easter" to celebrate the resurrection by my reading plan, do not have a reading.  On Sundays, I will post the musings from the week along with the bible readings that go with them.  Since I have only been reading since Wednesday, the first true post will be short.  However, this blog will act as a visual accountability for my Lent journey and help me to carry on the contemplative nature I would like the year of 2013 to be.

The formatting and editing to make the blog look pretty will all happen after the season of lent has ended, so I pray you forgive my appearance as God forgives us of all!
