Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. The season of Lent will run until the Saturday before Easter Sunday, about six weeks. It is traditionally viewed as a period of abstinence in preparation for the Easter celebrations and marks the time that Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness.
This year we don't intend to run a regular series of Lent posts on the blog and we are not planning to give up chocolate, alcohol, caffeine or anything else like that. We will, however, spend much time reflecting on those 40 days in the wilderness, what they did mean and what they could mean to us today. A theme of "Living Simply" is developing. Its our hope that some of our endeavours to "live simply" might make interesting or thought provoking reading, if so we'll post them here!
But for now every blessing for your own journey through Lent
