Lent 2016: Reading the Lectionary with my family.
Reading every day can be a discipline; writing every day certainly was a discipline for both myself and my wife who reads and edits all my posts. However, the fact that nearly 17,500 reads occurred during Lent (20,000 since the blog began on Advent 1) has made this "discipline" a joy. That so many people commented, criticized, connected to, shared, tweeted, G+1, favoured and liked the short messages in this blog is what is important; it shows we came together to ponder Scripture and seek God. We experienced the love of Jesus through the wilderness, into Jerusalem, during the Passover meal, in Gethsemane, on the Cross, and beyond the grave. It was a journey and a blessing beyond words. It was a gift. It was a time of "theological" growth: our knowledge (logia (λογία)) of God (Τheos (Θεός)) was increased, deepened and broadened.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

We believe God desires every person He created to respond to His divine Love with a resounding joy-filled "YES." We believe that just as surely as there is eternal life with God beyond the grave, there is work in God's mission for the Church beyond our "YES!" Join us as we explore this life beyond the yes together. We worship God with songs and anthems - we come to God in prayer - we "Go!" into the world in trust and obedience and faith working in God's mission as we live in God's Love.
Be blessed.
