Lent is For Lovers
So many of us see Lent as a bit of a downer: penance, sin, winter’s woes. However, this year isn’t the starting date, Valentine’s Day, a wonderful reminder of what it could be: a time of loving awe and grace? Let’s examine that together.

Songs for the Road
In this Lenten Season series, Saturdays are dedicated to songs for reflection and journaling. The focus is on faith-based hymns and popular songs, alongside personal stories. The message emphasizes the promise of being found by the Lord, echoed in the shared biblical verse.
A Time to Trust
The Lenten Season is a time for reflection on our paths in life and on the faithfulness of God. Like the Israelites guided by a pillar of cloud, we have the Holy Spirit and God's word to lead us. Change brings growth, and we can trust in God for guidance and peace.
A Day of Remembrance
Today is Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent. This season prompts reflection on Christ's journey and our own lives. We're encouraged to honor departed loved ones, acknowledge the impact they had, and be open to grace. The Lenten Blog draws inspiration from Cleo Wade's book, fostering unity and inspiration.
