Following the Church Calendar - Lent 2023 - Week 1

 In my spiritual tradition, following the church calendar means celebrating Easter, Palm Sunday, Christmas, and maybe the season of Advent. The denomination my husband and I are currently a part of and what I grew up in is charismatic and has almost shunned the use of ritual and rhythms of spirituality in the name of avoiding all possibilities of legalism. I agree, of course, that we should avoid legalism since it was that through the Pharisees and Sadusees that Jesus so forcefully condemned, however, (and this is a whole other topic for another day) I do believe that spiritual routines and traditions that have been part of Christianity for centuries can be very beneficial in our relationships with Christ.

February Journal Entry

 Wow, it’s been a whole month since I’ve written anything. I don’t even need to say how busy I was because that says everything right there. I will, however, give a little run down of what’s happened this month so that I know in the future how I spent February of 2023. 


The first week, I felt like I was getting my feet back under me after New York (a journal about that is still coming if just for my own mental clarity lol). I went to an American eye doctor for the first time in literally 10 years to get my prescription changed.
