During the season of Lent, I will be sharing a short post each day as part of the Lent-Photo-a-Day Journey, providing a sort of brief reflection and witness through the journey to and through the cross, to the tomb, and out into the world.

The word designated for March 18th is “Practice.”

When I think of practicing, I think of rehearsing or preparing. In terms of music, like in this picture it might mean rehearsal or preparing for a rehearsal. It might also mean preparing myself to be in a good frame of mind and ready to lead discussion or facilitate conversations. Practice can also mean the act of doing something, or a discipline for example. During Lent, this might be fasting during the day or a great focus on prayer and scriptural study.

How do you practice? What do you practice for, and why do you practice?
