Lent Reflections Week 1: Intention

A selection of my daily Lent reflections, starting with Intention:

My intention during Lent is to take up a new spiritual practice and observe my own version of Shabbat from sundown on Fridays to sundown on Saturdays. (Yeah I know I'm mixing faith traditions, but hey, I'm Unitarian, it's what we're good at!) So, from sunset on Fridays to sunset on Saturdays I will be limiting my electronic device usage to leaving my phone on in case of emergencies. I will not be replying to emails, posting on social media, updating websites, writing sermons, arranging worship rotas, or doing anything else that might be considered work and / or useful. I look forward to how this practice unfolds.
