We each have been given gifts by the Holy Spirit and we need to consider how we are using them. Lent is a good time for resetting our spiritual and our life priorities. May Lent be special for each of us this year.Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-48689962039864178152017-03-18T12:10:12.807-07:002017-03-18T12:10:12.807-07:00Sharon, I do like the picture of Lent as being a t...Sharon, I do like the picture of Lent as being a time to "reset" and listen to God. This is so important to do in our spiritual lives, and also in our writing. This made me notice that there are many times throughout the year when I reset - New Year's (winter), Lent/Easter (spring), vacations (summer), school start (fall). I guess this is telling me that I won't reach my 5-year goal if I don't pay attention to my this year goal!Marnie Pohlmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338321752143838051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-42285180461803717892017-03-17T21:27:53.483-07:002017-03-17T21:27:53.483-07:00Resetting our actual clocks comes up for discussio...Resetting our actual clocks comes up for discussion again and again.

I seem to be stretching my understanding of what Lent can bring to my faith. <br /><br />Reading some of the Psalms, the 51st, for example, add to my understanding of what is an acceptable fast.

You've given me some impetus for my April blog on the Lenten/Easter theme. <br /><br />I must also thank you for writing about Ash Wednesday last year, as it motivated me to attend a service--which I did this year. It so happened that the Protestant church my nephew and his wife attend held their first Ash Wednesday service. A Lutheran Pastor give the introduction and background to Ash Wednesday, as well as give the message of Lent. Very meaningful!
