As part of my Lenten practice this year, I have decided to participate in the Lenten 40 Day Photo Challenge at rethinkchurch.org. The idea is to take a photo that is about the word or phrase of the day. It is supposed to require paying attention and being intentional, which sounds like a spiritual discipline to me!
Today I am:
- Starting the day a concerned mom and grandmother
- An early riser in Baton Rouge; commuter to New Orleans
- Interim Pastor at Central St. Matthew UCC in NOLA
- In need of a hair cut and a massage
- The recipient of ashes twice in one day
- Offering ashes from the (covered) Carrollton Ave. campus front steps during cold rain at noon (pic taken there)
- Singing and praying there, too, with some who came by.
- Enchilada cook at lunch (nothing new there!)
- Relieved about good medical test results for a loved one
- Messaged and encouraged during sermon prep
- Preacher for our NOLA clergy-sponsored service tonight
- Face-to-face with “the Chicago thing” . . . again.
- Peaceful about “the Chicago thing” . . . really
- Reasonably satisfied about the preaching tonight
- Gluten-free in a gluten-filled Communion world (it seems)
