Having spent a couple decades in the Catholic Church, I routinely gave something up this time of year. It's been a while since I made a sacrifice during the Lenten season. Lately, however, I find the idea of deliberately doing something during Lent - rather than choose something to not do - more appealing.
A friend and I have groaned lately over the neglect of our blogs. Scattered around my house, I have notebooks filled with scraps of writings, half-written verses on post-its, unfinished blog posts.
Since this is a season of contemplation, of sanctification, of meditation, of reflection, what better time for an exercise of discipline? Here's a public vow to spend a portion of this Lent at the keyboard: as reader, as writer, as editor.
