carpooling

4/6/11 Along with our Disciple I Bible Study class, Cathy and I have undertaken the Lenten discipline of fasting. Yes, we are going without some food, so that we can become aware of our hunger for God. But more than that, we are going without driving so much. Yes, the recently escalating prices of gasoline play into our decision. But more than that, our Lenten journey is calling us to be more aware of God's creation and our role in taking care of it. So Cathy and I are able to carpool almost every day this week. Besides saving money, which we will redirect to the poor, we are having more quality time to be together to talk as we go to and from our places of work. Who knew that Lent would lead us to carpooling? Love, Lynn
