What We’re Doing for Lent: Some Reflections | Daily Theology on February 10, 2016 at 6:12 pm

[…] Lent seems to always give me some anxiety but also some excitement. That Friday streak burrito? Gone. That said, hello fish tacos! In all seriousness, I see many folks giving up social media again but that’s so 2013. I’m telling friends to perhaps limit their social media time to just the mornings or the afternoons. Many suggest a time limit but this can quickly get neurotic. How about using social media to your benefit? Last year, I shared gratitude for one person each day on my Facebook wall. Seems cheesy but it’s oddly refreshing and humbling to reach out to those important to you. One small note to add: The wall post reeked of humble bragging. If I had to tweak it, I’d use a private message instead. This Lenten season, I am adding five minutes of daily prayer when I listen to a podcast. Why? Because I spend a lot of time listening to podcasts. Too much time. In light of my new addiction, I want to incorporate a time shift back to prayer. I will not be shocked if my Ignatian meditations involve a podcast with Jesus as he journeys through the desert. I’d listen to that podcast. — Mike Avery […]
