Lent. What is it for?
This year, I have tried to really consider the question of the reason that we observe Lent at all. What is the reason to “give up” or “take on.” For me, as someone with a busy house of three children under 6, and a busy ministry of serving as a chaplain to a large and complex school, the main reason to observe Lent at all has been to give some time to remember God.
