Lenten Hangover

After my most committed Lent in recent memory, I've had a bit of a hangover. Stephen Colbert did a great bit this week describing his Catholic bender—and subsequent hangover—so I won't even attempt to compete with his take on it. Suffice it to say that after a Lent-long blogging habit, I confess that it was nice to take a bit of a break this week as I thought about where to go from here.

This blog received a lot of surprising and welcome support from friends and even some strangers. It became clear that many of us are "on the road" at some stage of our own spiritual journey. Though we're not all in the same place, many of us are searching and seeking, and it helps to know that others are out there.

On my own personal journey,  I learned that daily blogging did keep me on track and helped me to feel more spiritually engaged and stronger in a lot of ways. But I also learned that it's a big commitment. So I invited a friend to share the load. We are looking at less frequent postings—weekly, perhaps more, depending on how things go—but I hope that it might provide some of the same food for thought that the daily Lenten blog seemed to offer. 

So now we are looking at life and spirituality "Beyond 40 Days." I hope you'll stay with us on the journey.
