One line really caught my attention in Psalm 86 from today’s readings: “Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth.” This is a good representation of my Lenten Practice this year.
If you saw the documentary, “A Case for Love” based on our Presiding Bishop Michael Curry’s teachings, you probably know why studying his work is the basis for my current Lenten practice to Walk in God’s Truth – to walk in the Way of Love.
Our world often feels filled with divisiveness, hatred, and anger. Yet, I truly believe  if we turn off  social media, cable news and other emotionally charged sources of information – if we Go together and find others to Learn with, to Pray with, to Worship with, to Bless and be blessed by – we will likely find the love and positive human connection that we need to thrive as individuals and communities. And so, that walk is my current journey, my Lenten Practice this year.
Wherever your Lenten journey takes you, I hope you will find the time to learn from Bishop Curry and his work. I will be learning right alongside you – and I hope to make positive strides down the path toward the Way of Love.
