When Richard Anderson, the director of Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center, asked me to write a daily meditation for their website, spiritinthedesert.org, I was excited to say that I would try it. I’ve been writing Advent and Lenten devotionals since 1994 and have enjoyed the discipline. And in these last months as I’ve been negotiating my passage into this third chapter of my life, I’ve wondered what I might do. I can’t just go to movies, watch television, and play golf…there had to be something more. And for right now, this is it!

I’ll be posting a meditation based on the Revised Common Lectionary texts for the week each day. If you’re interested in reading it you can either go to the Spirit in the Desert website (they’re doing some wonderfully creative things), or go to this website and sign up to be a follower. If you do follow this blog and give your email address, the meditation will show up in your email each day. Please know that I would welcome your comments.
