Began the day discussing what I could sacrifice for Jesus during this period of Lent. What does Lent mean? Why do it and yada, yada, yada....
Jambalaya recipe from Real Simple fed 5 of us during a game of telephone pictionary. A combination of spicy sausage and shrimp over rice is perfect paired with a glass of wine or perhaps two. Hillbillies seemed to be the recurring theme of the game. Only time and weather could end this entertaining night with neighbors. Katy and Tristan returned home to rescue Muscogee from the storm as we raced to clean the kitchen from earlier events.
Settling into the living room couches and chair, blankets and pillow in hand, Andrew, Grace, and I discussed what tomorrow and the next 40 days may hold. Ending in reflection and prayer, we now feel somewhat equipped for what is to come. I think I will focus on time and words, or perhaps lack of speech for Lent. Of course, the Spirit will lead.
