Yes, there were birds at the park, but it was the sheer number of
people that was impressive. I've only seen that many people there for a big summer event, like a concert. It was two days ago, Sunday after lunch.
Lent is the time between Ash Wednesday and Easter and it has been historically recognized by the church as a time to mentally prepare for the resurrection of Jesus. Most Reformed churches have eschewed the "giving up something for Lent" practice of the Roman Catholic church. But I like it...and sometimes have done things especially to prepare my heart and mind. This year, I was mightily intrigued by Laura when she recounted what she did last year. She Rocked! She read the whole bible for Lent.
Read about it here.Well, Laura, I am going for it! The bible from now until Easter...here I go...
More play at the park.
Friends and family are so good for spending time on Sundays.

Great pictures! I'm encouraged by your Lent commitment. I agree that its observation is something we miss out on.
My religion doesn't observe Lent, but I've always tried to give up something bad for me anyways. I actually gave up my daily sodas years ago and now only have it when eating out or with vodka;)
Anyways, I like the idea of adding something good instead. I don't know if I can do the whole Bible, but I'll be thinking of something.
