A Lenten Experiment
This Lent we are trying an experiment at our church. It has been a while since they have had any kind of special Lenten studies or services. Due to my then denied depression I was not able to find the way to start one last year. But this year since I am no longer denying my denials, I have the creative energy to do something new this year. So last week we had the first Ash Wednesday service in a number of years. I was glad to see about 40 people come for that service.
Then last night we had the first in a series of studies that I am putting together on Finding your Own Spiritual Way. Another good turnout for the experiment. And quite a few people expressed appreciation for the time we spent. If there is any kind of interest, I might put the outlines up on a link from here.
In dealing with a depression that is based on an aversion of rejection and a sense of failure, it is nice to have a good experience. Now I need to remember that.
