Such written forms might nudge us into areas we might be unconsciously avoiding and yet towards that which God would have us go. </i><br /><br />Regardless - as +Dorsey Henderson was fond of saying "have a sufficiently miserable Lent."Robert+https://www.blogger.com/profile/02740126968780196649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-81419299963739123452010-02-21T23:05:39.033-05:002010-02-21T23:05:39.033-05:00For Lent, I'm considering giving up the hereti...For Lent, I'm considering giving up the heretical sermons of our rector. Unfortunately, that seems less of a penance and more like a light at the end of the tunnel. One has to wonder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
