40 Notes in 40 Days, 2.0
Read my blog about taking up ashes to begin Lent. “I Give Up.”
Last year I introduced this idea for Lent. It was a powerful experience for many who tried it. The point of this exercise is not to get overwhelmed by another thing on your to-do list. The idea is start thinking about relationships. Think about real, past, new, old, strong, strained relationships. As you write your notes, if something cool, unexpected, fun, or funny happens, let me know. Tweet it out using #40Notes40Days.

Equality and Justice
I did not create this, but I think it is a great explanation of the difference between justice and equality. I think you could replace the captions with “Fair” and “Just” too.

More than “Before” and “After”
Everyone loves the “Before” and “After” pictures. Those are all well and good, but I will can never forget the “between” shots. It took time, support, hard work, and perseverance to lose 70 pounds, and transform my health. And now every day I work for the “Still.” Sometimes I think that one is the hardest of them all.

Calvin, the Dad
I’ve always loved Calvin and Hobbes. When I came across this today, I teared up immediately. At my Mom and Dad’s house, we kept a lot of the toys that my sister, brother, and I played with as kids. Now my daughters, nieces, and nephews love them. I do not know who created this meme, but I found it at http://copingkoala.wordpress.com/

Lent Photo a Day #40Days
This is an idea to share a Lenten prayer journal. Each day take a photo that captures the subject on the day. It starts Ash Wednesday, and ends the day before Easter. Might I suggest the word “Resurrection” for Easter Sunday? I’ll be posting mine on twitter @FatPastor, with the hashtags #40Days and #RethinkChurch. I just wish I had instagram. I’ve got a very old camera phone, but it should be an interesting endeavor.
