A Discipline During Lent?
I don’t know if you take up a discipline, spiritual or otherwise, during the season of Lent. Christians are half way to Holy week and Easter. Some give up something. I elect to add something to my life (hat tip to Dr. Toni Cravens at Brite Divinity School). This year I’m doing three music selections each day, posting lyrics for Lent, and journaling.
I like comedy and I particularly like smart comedy even about Christianity. Enter Mr. Deity. I found this web only gem from a news feed a couple of years ago and have followed the journey of Mr. Deity. This is how I characterize the show: imagine orthodox Christianity taken to its fullest extent blended with humor, modern science, scholarship and thoughtful questions. The latest show is, “Mr. Deity and the Host”. If you have not picked up a discipline, spiritual or other, during Lent I suggest watching an episode of Mr. Deity each day and doing a quick journal of your thoughts, feelings, and questions. Mr. Deity is in its third season and can be found on YouTube as well as the Mr. Deity website. Blessings on your journey.
