Lent, the 40 day time of preparation for Easter, has begun! Our Lenten theme this year will focus on Rock/Stones... This Sunday, Jesus, after a 40 day fast, alone on the barren, stony desert/wilderness is faced the the temptation of turning a stone into bread, exchanging the hardship of truth for the comfort of denial, a temptation we all face. This happened at the beginning of his three year journey of wandering/wondering and engaging, and it marks the beginning of our own Lenten journey, our own period of wander/wondering and engaging.
