ReplyDeleteMe too Sally- I need to spend some time this week thinking about how I want to dig a little deeper. I like the idea of intentionally focusing on Easter for Lent.
DeleteCongrats to Julie!
ReplyDeleteYou know what? This is the first post of yours I've bookmarked! It's not that the others weren't as good, but I love all the resources and want them at my fingertips.
And the Chicken Soup book looks great on your sidebar! :)

It's something bound to add. ;)
DeleteGlad you found the resources helpful.
I used to always give up chocolate, but one year I decided I would consider adding something to my life...so I added prayer and Bible reading daily. It quickly became a sanity saving habit!
ReplyDeleteYou know, a couple people spoke about that in the last post and I think one of those sites on Lent (in the first resource section) also talks about that. A very good idea. I need to figure out how to work that in, as well.
DeleteWonderful list of resources! As you know, I'm embarking on my own 40 days of contemplation and I'll be referring back to this post throughout. I have really enjoyed Pray As You Go for a while now. Thanks for inviting me to read!
ReplyDeleteHi LeAnne, I may refer to your posts in my blog, if that's all right. I loved the 40-Day Journaling book you suggested and wished I'd seen it for my give-away. Great idea! Thanks for stopping by. I'm going to follow your blog too. ;)
DeleteWhat a lovely list! Happy, blessed day, Julie!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary Ann-- been enjoying your blog. Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteI misunderstood your intent - I thought you would be conducting a day by day guided Lenten retreat. If anyone does want to participate in such a daily group, suggest you look up Abbey of the Arts for the guided retreat she lists, plus she has a group on Facebook called Holy Disorder of Dancing Monks I think many of you would enjoy. Also the Jesuits have guided Lenten Retreats and Creighton University also has a spiritual site on their website. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteJulett, I'm doing a little of both, but I want to make sure people can follow along at a level that is good for them. If you look at my post today, you might see a bit more of that. But I hope you stop back, either way. I have appreciated your comments.
