Well, it's almost that time again. The Lenten season is quickly approaching. Growing up, this time meant very little to me. I remember watching the news on Fat Tuesday when they would show a bakery on Brady street with people in a line so long it reached the street. All these people wanted were some sort of donut or pastry to celebrate the day. At the end of the news story they reminded the viewers that Fat Tuesday was the day before Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of lent, or the 40 days before Easter (of course, I have since learned that there are 46 days...Sundays don't count!). That's all I knew.
Fast forward 15 years. The Lenten season is just around the corner and our church is going to begin Leap of Faith (our "hispter" name for Lent). Our theme this year is Moving Forward.
The reason for the blog? Simple documentation of what God is doing. G and I have decided that we would really like to move forward in a few specific areas of life. This may or may not be God's plan for this time of year. Either way, we are going to jump in whole heartedly to see what might be waiting for us on the other side of 40 (or 46) days.
