This year for Lent, I have had to take into account that my schedule has changed a lot since last year. (Those of you who notice when I update the blog will have seen this by now. I have less free time now in the average day than I did a year ago, less than I've had for the last however many years running.) So I struggled a little to find a Lenten observance this year that was practical within that schedule.
This year is a small observance: I am singing Lenten hymns in the shower. (The acoustics make my voice sound better anyhow.)
Why in the world would I mention such a small observance? Just in case anybody else has a year with a rough schedule. Lenten hymns or spiritual songs could fit into a morning shower, or rush time karaoke, or could be on an iPod. It may be a small step, but it is a step. There's always something.
Take care & God bless.

Welcome to this blog. It contains my thoughts on our efforts to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. My current update schedule is once a week as time permits. Thank you for reading.

Christian Reconciliation Carnival / Mission
The original Carnival format drew some loyal and thoughtful participants, but did not draw enough participants for the Carnival to be the right format in the long run. The original Carnival links are below.
The Reconciliation Mission is currently taking the form of cataloging the controversies that divide the church and trying to advance reconciliation by first aiming at understanding. The index page for this effort is here:
