Art Project

Lent is generally thought of a time of giving up. I give up chocolate, you give up beer. Someone else gives up boys. This lent I decided to add to instead. The Lenten art project is based on liturgical readings for the day. I pick one that resonates for me and create an image for that line from a psalm, the gospel or other reading. The goal is not for great art but to represent what the line means for me in images. So here is Ash Wednesday and day one.

Ash Wednesday – reading Joel 2:1-2,12-17

Day one – reading Luke 7:22-23

Read a Book Day

Friday is the perfect day to kick back and read a book.  Usually you are too tired from the week to do much of anything. The weekends are for errands, cleaning and hopefully some fun.

Take the day as opportunity to regenerate with a good book.  It could be historical or hysterical, humor, fiction or non just pick up a book and fill your mind with information, lilting prose and the printed word.
