You guys. It has been ages. We promised to be back last fall, but then I started work and Haley’s homeschool year started, and well — with one thing and another, you know. And actually, I’ve been writing a ton, but most of it has been Sunday morning worship curriculum for our church’s children. Which is really fun, and rewarding, but not exactly blog material.
I won’t make any promises about when we’ll post next or a regular schedule, or anything like that. But know that the vision that prompted us to start Aslan’s Library is as close to our hearts as it ever has been. We’re still paging through stacks of books with our children, making long request lists, and texting each other about our finds. Should life provide a little more breathing space, we both have tons we want to share.
In the meantime, one fun part of my new job is that I get to spend a lot of time reflecting on the church year and how to mark it with children. The lovely Laura Turner recently invited me to reflect a little more publicly, on our church’s blog, and I wanted to share it with you.
So without further ado: Lent with Children. I hope yours has been rich so far.
Aslan's Library 
Thank you for this post. Often in my life I have overlooked Lent in anticipation of Easter. This year I’m trying to focus on the “preparation. ” Coincidentally this mornings reading included Mark 14: 16 “So his disciples went out …and prepared the Passover. ” It’s important that we prepare our hearts during Lent so we may fully grasp Easter.
That was lovely; thank you. I’d forgotten I’d subscribed to this blog, and am thoroughly enjoying my rediscovery of it!
