Lent starts tomorrow. Christians around the world will begin a time of reflection and preparation for the celebration of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. A few weeks ago, I read on a friend’s blog about a challenge her pastor gave to the congregation to pick one person to pray for during the 40 days of lent that they felt was beyond hope and redemption, or as she put it, the hard cases. The challenge struck a chord and have decided to “give up” time normally spent on myself, to pray for the hard cases. I have a list forming in my head, and not surprisingly, there’s more than one.

This is so good, Charity. Such a great challenge. I’ll be praying alongside you, hundreds of miles away.

Add me on the challenge as well! I’m really just posting to let you know that I’m reading your blog!
