Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Journeying with us through this season of lent will be the words and wisdom of Henri Nouwen, and of course, the Word of God. This is the first time that we’re participating in Lent together. We’ve also invited some friends and family to join us in this journey. If any of you are interested in journeying with us, send us a message and we’ll provide you with some resources.
Get Thee to Bed
What will we be giving up or abstaining from? Originally, Susan wanted to do a juice/fruit-only fast. However, recent weeks have already added a stressful toll on her physical body, but also, Jason can’t do a food-related fast either. We decided to abstain from other things that consume a ridiculous amount of our time/energy/thought life. Video games and going to sleep late. We’ve been too busy to play games lately, but getting to bed earlier will be challenging. Much time is wasted every night doing not-sure-what. It’ll be a discipline to get to bed earlier so that we could spend more time reading, praying, and listening to God.
