Lent is a special time of year. I love to use this time to think about God's blessings on my life as well as to have deep self-reflection on where he wants me to be. I have written a Lenten Devotional for the past 6 or 7 years. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I did not finish the devotional before Lent this year. So, instead, I am posting a daily video, and at some point later this year, I plan to publish the devotional. I will update the blog daily. Each of the links below will open to the daily devotional video on YouTube. I hope you enjoy.
