"Lift" |
Lent is underway! I love this season of reflection, in the atrium and at home. For our Wednesday evening gatherings at Christ Church we've been reading and discussing "Naked Spirituality: A Life with God in 12 Simple Words" by Brian D. McLaren, which has been challenging and interesting.

"Settle" |
I've also been participating in the
Lenten Photo-a-Day Challenge from
Rethink Church of the United Methodist Church. For each day in Lent, a word and
a reflection on that word are offered.

"Injustice" |
The challenge is to find or create an image that embodies what the day's word means to you. Generally I've been trying to take a new photo each day, but I've also used past photos for some words.

"Cover" |
This practice has been so meaningful to me. I love reading the reflection and pondering the word throughout the day until some idea or image comes to mind. I thought I would share some of my photos with you here.

"Vision" |
I've also enjoyed seeing the photos other people have been taking. You can view photos by people participating in the challenge from around the world on the
Rethink Church Pinterest page.

"Hear" |
Have you found any special ways to mark the days of Lent this year? I pray that this season will be one of renewal and blessing for all of us!
