Well, folks, I know it has been quite a while since I've logged onto my blog, and for that I apologize. I'm not sure how many people actually read this blog, but for those that do, I feel like I owe you a little something.
Today, I picked up a book I bought a few months ago, "Common Prayer - A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals" and flipped through to the find the study note that it had on the season of Lent leading up to Easter. One of the authors of the book, Shane Claiborne (also author of "Irresistible Revolution") noted that "It is a good season to rethink how we live and to let some things go, or maybe even to develop some new holy habits."
I'm not sure that blogging counts as a "Holy Habit", but I thought I would give it a try. For the next forty days leading up to Easter, I have committed to letting go of my usual evening entertainment of ESPN.com highlight reels or a netflix episode of Bones or CSI. And instead of veging out and being entertained, I am going to spend time reflecting each night on a series of scriptures and report some of my thougths on here.
With jsut a few hours before Ash Wednesday officially begins, I am going to get some good reading in and get some early sleep. - Hopefully, if all goes well, you should be hearing from me tomorrow night.
"O Lord, let my soul rise up to meet you as the day rises to meet the sun."
