Observing Lent - Reflections and Meditations

Hello and welcome.

Over the years, I've heard many descriptions of Lent and many recommendations for Lenten practices. I've found some of them helpful, some not so much. In the coming days, I hope to consider various viewpoints, expand them with personal insights and hopefully provide thoughts worth pondering. Some posts will be short like this one, some more involved. Your responses and comments are encouraged and while they remain manageable, I promise to respond as appropriate.

It is my intent that these writings be available to all, within the restrictions of the medium. I will reference other works, but my personal contributions I hereby place in the public domain. During Lent 2013, this blog will be actively managed. It's future beyond Easter has not been decided.

Finally, this blog serves as a portion of my personal Lenten practices for this year. As such, it will be a journey and as with many journeys, expect changes in itinerary, scenery and mood on a daily basis. Unlike most journeys, the location of this one will be fixed. So please come back again and again to participate.

May God's blessings be yours, now and throughout this Lenten season.

(Author's full disclosure: This 2013 journey is an extension of my 2012 Lenten blog, first posted at this same site, now archived.  The path is barely trod and bears repeating, but please expect some shortcuts and some detours.  Then, as now, may God bless your own journey.  - Graham)
