Well Lent is well on it’s way, and I have to confess that I have never been more ill prepared as I am this Lent. Please do not get me wrong…we are up and running with a great Lenten program parish-wide, it is just that I have been so busy copying it, distributing it, and talking about it that by the time I was doing it I was frazzled. This however is not my first rodeo. I am approaching it with a deep sense of honesty, as I am encouraging others to do the same.
If you would like to take part I would encourage you to download the program in its entirety at www.StMichaelAnglican.com/Lent-2012/
Hopefully as the dust settles I will be able to get into the whole thing as I intended. Sometimes however, my intentions are far less realistic than I had hoped. This however, it very important. I intend to stay on it. I am caught up with all of it tonight other than my night prayers. I will make sure I do them before bed!
But all and all, I am excited about our Lenten program…..I am just less excited about me. Ultimately I need to focus upon me and I truly intend to. You cannot be a good priest unless you are taking care of your own soul first…….and Lord knows, mine needs some work!
Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
