We are wading into the Lenten season, a time for reflection, for re-evaluating our lives and afor clearing out the spiritual clutter. Part of my own Lenten journey this year is to stop and be thankful, truly thankful for the abundant blessings in my life.

Keeping the Faith 
Mmmm, grilled cheese. That is a staple right now around here. For Lent, at the inspiration of a friend, breakfasts are oatmeal and lunch is a sandwich (pb&j or grilled cheese) and then a regular dinner. I'm looking forward to the simplicity of the menu during Lent.
