DAY 32 The Bible mentions seven things that Jesus says while hanging on the cross. I found this online site that looks at each statement [calling each one a 'word'] and thought it would be a great resource for us as we head towards Easter. Task: Meditate and reflect on ‘The fifth word of Jesus.’ The fifth word is based on Jesus’ words in John 19. 28-29 "I am thirsty." Spend some time of reflection on [...]
DAY 30-31 Okay, so this one is more for me than anyone else reading and following, but maybe you can figure out your own that relates, so forgive me my self-ness... Task: Take a break from the somewhat stressful task of creating 40 Lent Observance posts in a row. i think i just need a bit of a breather and on a Saturday when i remarkably don't have anything to plan for tomorrow it feels [...]
DAY 28 So great to see my good mate Bruce Collins blog-posting again [so great i couldn't help but dive in and steal what he wrote] and so i hope you enjoy this prayer to meditate on from his Thanksgiving Series post 1 and i really hope you will head across to his page and subscribe so you can follow the rest of them. Task: Read and reflect on this prayer which is definitely so relevant [...]

Physically i have had a huge splitting headache for most of the day and that is not normal for me, nor has it been fun. Mentally/emotionally/spiritually today was probably my worst day on Facebook [and maybe being in pain already didn't help] as i got into an exchange with two people professing [...]
When you're weary... DAYS 23-24ish As we head into the weekend again i have combined today and tomorrow into one post. Please use accordingly. They say ‘Familiarity breeds contempt’ although i would say sometimes that ‘Familiarity breeds familiarity’ which means that sometimes things that are completely profound, can lose some of their depth and meaning [for us] simply because we see them so many times that we get used to them and possibly skim over them and [...]
ah man, this Lent schedule is a kicker... may have not gotten to make a post yesterday, but not going to beat up myself about it. let's just make the most of the ones i do manage to post? good! DAY 20ish I was inspired for today's post by a picture my friend Lilly Lewin [@lillylewin] shared on The Twitterer: Task: Write some words. Or maybe draw a picture. But just get something down. Whether [...]
