Okay, so it's Lent. And, in the interest of actually doing something to mark this period, I thought I'd try actually using this blog thing, instead of it just sitting here not getting used.
My intentions are to simply write some words (no limit on how small, or how large), ideally on a single topic, every day during the period of lent.
So, given that it's the reason I'm doing this, it makes sense to examine what Lent actually is, for my first post.
( Thoughts about Lent, it's history and various related symbolic actions )
Personally, I'm choosing to take up a couple of things. The first of which is this blog. The second of which is a daily period of prayer before God. And, I'm choosing to place this here, such that I might be accountable to others.
