So the bread worked out fine. It was really calming to be able to bake and I wish I could do it all the time.
My independent study professor had this observation about Lent:
Perhaps as a community we shouldn't be focused on what to give up that would deprive us of something and bring us closer to Jesus. Instead we should be actively thinking about how to better GIVE OUT; what can we give (time, help, food, hugs) to live a life more closely entwined with Christ?
I like that better. I like giving out better than giving up. And is it really a sacrifice of time, energy, whatever, if it's poured out to the people we love?
