Engaging in the practice of Lent

Categories seminary, Spiritual GrowthLeave a Comment on Engaging in the practice of Lent

What I'll be doing in this season of Lent is taking time to read the daily emails from my Seminary. I was asked to contribute towards the 2023 Lenten Devotional and I can't wait to experience how what I shared will fit in among my peers and faculty who also contributed. If you'd like to check it out, the link is here and it's being offered in two different options this year- daily email format or full PDF download. What's been your experience of Lent? Would you like to join me in reading through this devotional this year? I'd love to have an ongoing conversation with you throughout this season of Lent.

We all know there is a lot going on in America these days. We are a hurting nation. I've been doing a lot of listening and praying as I'm watching and forming my thoughts. I've been feeling like I wanted to say more than I've already said here and here. As a Christian, I want…

Listen to this blog here! Wow... I forgot what Mother's Day meant last year (2019) for us here on Camp Walker in Daegu, South Korea. It meant "goodbye" to the on-post church worship service I called my home since committing to a church after moving here from the United States due to the military. We…
