Lent begins today. There is an Ash Wednesday service tonight but I can't go - I have work. I also find it interesting that I had two requests for me to read scripture for this day as well. Boston University emailed me and asked if I'd be willing to read the scripture for the service. I emailed them back and told them I am no longer attending BU. Thom emailed me this morning and asked if I would read teh scripture for tonight's service and again I had to turn down the opportunity... I told him I'd love to but I have to work. I hope the fact that I put "I'd love to" will show him that Im interested in reading scripture for the service some other time. I miss having some involvement.
Anyway... since it is the beginning of Lent I must have a plan for my lenten season right? Yes, I do. First of all, I plan to alternate days with scripture/prayer/reflection and physical exercise. I need them both... so I figured try them both. I need to get back into shape and I also need to find a way for prayer to work for me again. If I keep trying maybe it will work. *shrugs* I also plan to cut out the nightly ice cream - I'll only allow it one night a week (I haven't decided which night yet). Anyway, that's my plan and I bet I'll be wandering through this season wondering, hoping, asking for something to become clearer in terms of call and vocation. Kathleen seems to beleive that I need to be confused - need to wander - its part of my journey of faith. I tend to agree with her, but it makes things difficult in the present even though I know the future will probably be less confusing.
Anyway, I figured I'd write just to write something... *not that anyone ever posts or reads LJs anymore...* but anyway.
PS Saturday is my birthday
