Emily – your post kept popping into my head all weekend – thanks for giving my brain a little workout this week. Sunday morning as I was puttering early in the kitchen and listening to Speaking of Faith on NPR, one snippet caught me that immediately sent me scribbling in my journal:

“Lent is less for ‘giving up’ and more for making space.”

Thanks for keeping me thinking…
