My Lenten Retreat- A SPACE

I have the joy this Lenten Season of joining an online retreat hosted by one of my favorite artists and spiritual leaders JAN RICHARDSON.

She and her husband Gary give a daily Lenten mediation through art, music and words. Each day has been beautiful and thought provoking. It is open to everyone and its not too late to join.

Why am I taking this Lenten (long) journey?
My soul is feeling impoverished and weary from all the events of life- both personal and global.
I need a time and space just to follow Him through the last 40 days of His life.
I need to remember how much it cost Him so I could have relationship with God.
I need to wonder once again about all He is and all He has done.

And even though I cant spend 40 days on a tropical beach uninterrupted I can have a "soul" retreat when I get away daily for a small space in time just to hear and live His story again.

   

Art - When words arent enough

Remembering Bentley

I know most will agree that the Arts are a most wonderful thing.
From the beginning of time Art has helped express mans deepest feeling from unabashed joy to the depths of despair.

When words arent enough Art is.

My sweet friend lost her favorite cat Bentley last week.
And Art allowed me to say I cared.
