I would like to invite all of my co-bloggers, friends, students, colleagues, and well-wishers to join me in a spiritual quest to make the time of Lent – which begins today – more solemn, more holy, and more meaningful, by giving up coffee. I sincerely believe that by giving up that morning cup of expresso and froth, that we’ll be drawn closer to the heart of God. So brethren and sisteren, let us cultivate the spiritual discipline of fasting and put aside the black beans of the world to try taste instead the joys of heaven.
So, if you love Jesus, I invite you to put down your coffee cups, just for Lent, just for this year!
