This morning we celebrate and or recognize the beginning of the Lent Season. When I was a teacher in the Episcopal school system it was a common practice to have a time of silence each morning to reflect, read or draw for about 15 minutes prior to starting class during this time of of the year. It was during this practice that I started a journal of words and pictures that I have expanded to my current journaling today. I look forward to this time as being special, a time to contemplate and slow down if only for a few extra minutes each day. It is an amazing practice that to be so simple has had a profound impact on my life.
Whatever your views, beliefs or practices are regarding this time of the year, I pray we all draw closer to the one who sacrificed so much for us and come to know him in a more personal way this holiday season.
