Beautiful and refreshing my dear friend. And the dance goes on….one day I am the one “generously forgiving”, the next, I am the one glaringly in need of forgiveness; one moment the betrayed, in another, the betrayer. Thank you for the refreshing reminder that grace, compassion and mercy are the best music for this amazing dance we find ourselves in. Peace.

I really like how you broke down the calendar times into your own terms (3rd paragraph). Thank you for your words.

Michelle this is a beautiful post. I think I aprreciated this line the most:

“Why then I ask myself, celebrate Lent, or any of the Church Liturgical Calendar? As I ponder that paradox, I have simply chosen to come to Lent in freedom, no strings attached, in beauty and simplicity.”

I had plans for observing Lent this year…it involved me sacrificing my time to intentionally sit in silence and contemplation…I have YET to ‘go there’…The freedom and no strings attached is probably where I should have started after all!

Comment on MIKE - successful vs. fruitful by Julie

Mike,
That was well said and something I agree with wholeheartedly. I want to be fruitful too and experience the abundant life.

In the eloquent words of Martin Luther King, Jr…

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

Oh, thank you Mike for reminding me of the beauty that I can so easily miss because of my perspective on how it should be packaged.
I’m going to chew on this some more.

Comment on KATHY - the church calendar, refuge style by Eric

Definately not into liturgical calender or other churchy legacies. Another reason to avoid Saturday, though interested in spirituality that works in everyday life, and curious about community.
