On Keeping a Holy Lent

Do you keep Lent? Are you wondering why or how to keep Lent?

Here's a really good article by Craig R. Higgins that my pastor shared with our church. I grew up in a church that didn't really observe Lent and up until a few years ago, I never attended a church that did, so I am still rather new at this. I've learned to look forward to this time to concentrate in a deliberate way on the Cross and on Christ's sacrifice on my behalf.

[update] Momma Hen @ At a Hen's Pace is asking--what are you reading to prepare your hearts this Lenten season? I will be reading all four Gospels, Louis Berkhoff's Systematic Theology "On the Person and Work of Christ" and Chapter 7 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, "Of Christ the Mediator"
