Lent is a 40-day journey, I’m told.
But there are actually 46 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter morning.
The Sundays are feast days, not fast days.
Who knew?
I need to plan a new plan.
A diminishing diet.
A shrinking of words?
Word Count: 40
Today’s Reading: Ephesians 1 – 6
“The good news: your life is already poemia — a living, breathing work of words.” ~Dave Harrity in Making Manifest. Do you want to want to be your own voice? Join us as we work our way through this book during May. And I’m giving away a copy. Read more here.
In the stillness,

That was actually something I did know. 🙂
Blessings!
I’m guessing I probably should have. I never thought about it when I decided to do this series. 🙂
Seeing poiema reminds me of the album by Michael Card and his Poem of Life, especially the second verse.
So look in the mirror and pray for the grace
To tear off the mask, see the art of your face
Open your ear lids to hear the sweet song
Of each moment that passes and pray to prolong
Your time in the ball of the dance of your days
Your canvas of colors of moments ablaze
With all that is holy
With the joy and the strife
With the rhythm and rhyme of the poem of your life
With the rhythm and rhyme of the poem of your life
We are His masterpiece. Thanks for the reminder.
I adore that song! Thanks for reminding me of it and sharing those lines.
I’m going to embed the video in this post. 🙂
Don’t feel bad–I didn’t know you got Sundays off until I went Catholic. Whooppee!
