Lenten Devotions

My friends, for the time period known to many Christians as "Lent" - 40 days of quiet introspection leading up to the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ - I will be posting daily meditations to guide us thru this deeply personal time in the life of a Christian. These devotions (and accompanying photographs) are my own art.

Lent is a season - the most important one in Christianity. So many people focus on what they will "give up" for Lent - chocolate, soda, alcohol, social media, etc... - that I believe we miss the point of this season. 

It is a time to draw closer to Christ; to let him dwell deep within your heart. To give up the things we do that stand in the way of that in-dwelling. Easing our way thru Lent with meditations and quiet devotion will eliminate the static and open ourselves to the beautiful messages that can be found during this quiet season.

As we start our 40-day sojourn in the desert...the sun is rising. 

God paints the sky with soft colors and a 

layer-cake of mountains as far as the eye can see. 

Breathe deeply the crisp morning air. 

Stay in this moment for as long as you can.
