Lent 2014

Year four of Lenten observance.

I'm in Texas this time, living alone, working at Baylor, waiting to see once again what the Daniel Fast holds for me.  It is just now sundown on the night before Ash Wednesday.  Only water until sundown tomorrow, then just vegetables until Easter.

Dear Lord, my need of you is great this year.  My husband is deployed to Afghanistan, the road beyond that is unclear.  This year has been full of feasting.  The past few weeks have been a famine.  Restore it now with a holy fast.

Amen.
