Lent 2025 – Penny

March 5, 2025

Yes, I know I am behind. For the past four years I have posted every day in Lent, starting with an ashes photo.

This year though, Ash Wednesday fell between the days of Chemo Care Class and Rob’s first treatment for recurrence of bladder cancer. That and the reality that my mother turns 97 soon (with all the meaning that entails) makes it clear I will not be writing every day.

That doesn’t mean I am not observing Lent. As it turns out, the juxtaposition of these events, not to mention the darkness of our political scene, appears to be a way God is getting my attention about this holy season as never before.

I am grateful to have guest authors who may post here over these 40 days. May their presence here and in this world be a blessing to you as it is to me.
