"The great commandment, to love God with all your heart and soul, and your neighbor as yourself, seemed more subtle than ever. I began to see the three elements as a kind of trinity, always in motion, and the three loves as interdependent. It would be impossible to love God without loving others; impossible to love others unless one were grounded in a healthy self-respect; and, maybe, impossible to truly love at all in a totally secular way, without participating in the holy."

Lenten Discipline
Many people give up something for Lent. I have never quite understood this tradition, but have tried it several years. I typically try to add something to my routine, too. This year I decided to just add something--something that will draw me closer to God. It really seems to make more sense. So, I decided to read/study the devotional book "40 Day Journey with Kathleen Norris." As I have time I will post the devotion for the day or my reflections on the text.
