Lent seems to be very similar to Advent. There are many traditions yet many observe it in their own way. So, what way am I, are you, going to observe Lent?
I've included some links on this blog that you may find helpful.
First, there is a sermon from my pastor, Steve Thompson. It's not about Lent, but it is about being passionate about spiritual things. This sermon is what tipped me from "maybe" to "go for it" concerning Lent.
Next, there are some links for Bible readings. Click on the link for more details. There are more than I have listed here. You can sign up for these and the readings will be mailed to your email address. Now that makes it easy!
There is also a link for Prayer Challenges. These are ways to pray for your pastor, your pastor's wife, your husband, your mom, your children and more. These are 30 day challenges so you will have some breathing room since Lent is 40 days. Hurray for breathing room!
I'm pretty sure I'm going to read the Bible reading plan specifically designed for Lent and Easter. I may also read the the Gospel reading plan. I just haven't seen them yet, so I don't know what I am in for. I'll keep you posted on how this works for me.
I have other suggestions as well, but I'll save those for my next post. These are other practices/disciplines/things that I want to add to my Lent observance.
For now, have a look at these links, pray about them and see what you think will benefit you most in your Lenten Endeavor.
See ya! (hmmmm...maybe there is a better Lent salutation than "see ya!")
