We All Fall Down

It is that time of year again. I almost didn't do it. I thought, so much has changed, I'm so busy, there is NO way that I will be able to stick to it, there is just no point in trying a Lenten blog again. Besides, it sounds weird. Lenten Blog. Like some kind of marshy landmark the locals tell you to avoid. "Don't turn left, or you'll end up in the Lenten Blog, and then you're really out of luck!" To be honest, I feel embarrassed. I always start out with such good intentions and I always end up somewhere south on a paved road. But then, maybe that is the perfect place to start. Again. This is not a time of completion, this is a time of brokenness, a time of repentance and reconciliation.

So this year, here is the plan. This Lent, I will strive to give up my expectations. I am going to write when I can and try to forgive myself when I can't. I am going to work on cherishing the path directly before me instead of comparing it to all the paths I thought I would be traveling. How exactly all that will translate to the blog is anyone's guess.

Here we go!
