today, ash wednesday we begin the 40 day journey towards that day that changed the world forever. in preparation, world vision is leading a conversation in the tension between how we in the west live our lives to those in other areas of the world that don’t have our luxuries and freedom. you can follow that journey here.
the folks at d365 have their 40 day online study up here.
Nick Alexander has an amazing sense of humor and out of that gift he helps us focus on what is the first day of our Lenten Journey for 2010. With the cultural mess that we live in today finding joy in the context of understanding our own death to ourselves and being made alive by the power of Easter. Through the Lenten journey we learn to leave ourselves behind and to cling even more tightly to the power of Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension. this is not a time to be sorrowful…but to be filled with joy.
be blessed. If you’re interested in doing an online Lenten journey, click here.
